How to Design an Effective System for Developing Managers and Executives

Maxine Dalton

Managers and executives do not typically become more effective as the result of a single training program or other intervention. Rather, development requires a range of ongoing and integrated activities. Drawn from CCL's «Tools for Developing Successful Executives» program, the six-step model described in this report provides the basics for designing a system that works. The steps, each covered in its own section, range from «Find and use organizational support for creating a process» to «Define and communicate the critical role of the manager.» The sections contain commonsense information about the issues to consider when designing a development system plus numerous practical examples.

Four Essential Ways that Coaching Can Help Executives

Robert Witherspoon

Some executives use coaching to learn specific skills, others to improve performance on the job or to prepare for career moves in business or professional life. Still others see coaching as a way to support broader purposes such as an agenda for major organizational change. To an outsider, these coaching situations may look similar. All are based on an ongoing, confidential, one-on-one relationship between coach and executive. Yet each coaching situation is different, and these distinctions are important to recognize–if only to foster informed choice by everyone involved. This report explores key distinguishing factors among coaching situations, and defines four distinctly different coaching roles. Case examples explore how these roles apply to common coaching issues facing executives and their organizations today.

Forceful Leadership and Enabling Leadership: You Can Do Both

Robert Kaplan

Leaders need to be forceful–to assert themselves and their capabilities and to push others to perform. Leaders also need to be enabling–to tap into and bring out the capabilities of others. The problem is that many executives see forceful leadership and enabling leadership as mutually exclusive, or strongly prefer one or the other, and therefore lack the versatility to be truly effective. This publication explains how executives can overcome the emotional barriers to expanding their skill sets in one direction or the other.

Filling the Leadership Pipeline

Robert B. Kaiser

Competition is fiercer today than ever before, and effective leadership represents a rare source of competitive advantage. With strong leadership and a richly stocked pool of future leaders, organizations prosper and endure. There is an easy case to make for the imperative of investing in tomorrow's leaders today. It's the law of supply and demand: more organizations in greater competition under increased pressure to perform put a premium on scarce talent. The labor economy has become a seller's market, and poaching or luring talent away from other organizations is a losing proposition. The alternative is to become good at developing your talented managers into great leaders and aggressively seeking out potential and developing it anywhere and everywhere you can find it across the organization. The purpose of this volume is to share what has been learned in the last few years of increased attention to the systematic and strategic cultivation of leadership talent. The time is ripe for leading practitioners to share key lessons about building and filling a leadership pipeline.

Eighty-Eight Assignments for Development in Place

Michael Lombardo

The Center for Creative Leadership's continuing studies of executives have found that learning on the job is the best way for a person to develop. Often people are given new positions in order to provide them with developmental experiences. But what if such a transfer is not possible? This report contains eighty-eight assignments that offer individual development opportunities on a current job.

Giving Feedback to Subordinates

Raoul Buron

Providing specific information about performance is key to developing the people who report to you. This guidebook tells you how to give your subordinates effective feedback so they can work more effectively, develop new skills, and grow professionally.

Finding Your Balance

Joan Gurvis

Balance isn't an issue of time, but an issue of choice. It's about living your values by aligning your behavior with what you believe is really important. Aligning your behavior with your values is much like any other developmental experience; the basic process involves assessment, challenge, and support. This guidebook will help you determine where you are, define where you want to go, and then put into place the tools you need to get there.

Feedback That Works for Nonprofit Organizations

Shera Clark

In nonprofit organizations, staff development is increasingly crucial, but lack of resources leads many nonprofit leaders to believe that effective feedback systems are unattainable. However, nonprofits can implement effective feedback through their organizations by taking advantage of the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) model. Using this system, you can give effective feedback that will help your nonprofit achieve its mission.

Feedback in Performance Reviews

E. Wayne Hart

Performance reviews vary from one organization to the next. This guidebook will help you understand how to use feedback in whatever performance review context you find yourself. It explains three feedback principles and four different types of feedback. It will help you understand when to use the different types of feedback and how to frame a complete feedback message, making it more likely that your feedback will be well received. The rest is practice.

Direction, Alignment, Commitment: Achieving Better Results Through Leadership, First Edition

Cynthia D. McCauley

This book will show you how to diagnose problems in your team by focusing on the three outcomes of effective leadership: direction, alignment, and commitment. By assessing where your group stands in each of these outcomes, you can plan and implement the changes necessary to get better results.
