A challenge for organisations in their pursuit of organisational development can be a delineated focus on ‘performance reviews’ versus ‘potential realisation.’ Whilst performance requires management, potential requires exploration.
An organisation that is committed to transforming its culture demonstrates a preparedness and the motivation to review organisational practices rather than be solely focused on business outcomes and surface level performance reviews. Leaders within the organisation also demonstrate that preparedness and motivation to further realise their potential and reflect on how their leadership is influencing the organisational culture and climate.
Our transformational leadership and organisational coaching focuses on building human potential into human capital.
We focus on calibrating leadership styles and organisational practices to leverage the collective knowledge, skills, social connectivity, innovation, and motivation that symbolises the capability of individuals and teams in an organisation to cultivate functional relationships, generate organisational health, safety, productivity, and economic value.
Our coaching strategy is future focused, we adopt the principle of Appreciative Inquiry, a communication methodology to articulate the future state and realise potential, creating what can be, rather than trying to fix what is.
“Appreciative Inquiry is about the co-evolutionary search for the best in people, their organisations, and the relevant world around them. In its broadest focus, it involves systematic discovery of what gives “life” to a living system when it is most alive, most effective, and most constructively capable in economic, ecological, and human terms. Appreciative Inquiry involves, in a central way, the art and practice of asking questions that strengthen a system’s capacity to apprehend, anticipate, and heighten positive potential”.
