The Now is Different!
We live in an age of great change as a result of financial and economic turmoil where the challenges for organisations and their leaders who achieve their commercial goals through people are greater than ever. New technologies, instant information, new financial structures and a changing attitude of work forces have all lead to making the old style of "leadership by command & control" outdated if not irrelevant.
Cross Cultural Coaching
Most medium sized companies today have an international angle, if only through their websites, which are potentially visible to over 2 Billion people around the globe. Business is very seldom local or regional, it seeks its customers more frequently nationally or internationally. Doing business internationally or even globally requires a whole new approach and understanding.
International Leadership and Culturally Diverse Communication
Expanding beyond the borders of the company's country or origin requires specific knowledge and a degree of learning in order to understand the differences in culture and that learning and understanding needs to take place before costly and sometimes irreversible mistakes are made. We at John Wesdorp Associates always deliver coaching & learning with current or future international business in mind.
We at JWA coach companies in developing international team-building and in leveraging intercultural effectiveness.
Business & Executive Coaching solves problems and is aimed at assisting companies
and/or organisations by improving the performance of its staff and management. Leadership today requires a range of different skills that are potentially available but may need to be developed.
Many executives are in need of a
confidential coaching approach to help them clear the next hurdle in
their career or their organisations. Coaching invokes positive change through learning, something that is invaluable to every organisation and individual. Coaching is always based on trust and confidentiality.
When do leaders need coaching?
When established values change, when markets change and when client behaviour changes, we need to anticipate those changes and not be ambushed by them. Coaching assists in changing the human behavioural processes within companies, organisations and of individuals, so they keep ahead of the curve and remain efficient and successful. Coaching helps business leaders to change themselves in order to effectively shape the future of their organisations.
If you as a leader feel that you do not perform at your very best, you can hand over that problem to an experienced coach for it to be solved. Coaches can make you see yourself in the way other people see you.
"WHAT GOT YOU HERE MAY NOT GET YOU THERE!", as quoted by the indomitable Marshall Goldsmith, is a message to those leaders who may find themselves out of touch with current business thinking and who lack sufficient Emotional Intelligence.
A company will always rise to the very top of its industry in terms of performance and profitability when it employs the best leaders and staff within that industry supported by leadership coaches of the highest caliber.
