Leadership Development in Practice
Hanover’s leadership coaching process follows six key steps:
1. Clarifying your objectives – defining what you want to get out of a coaching relationship and understanding your role and context.
2. Selecting a coach – a ‘chemistry’ meeting with one or more leadership coaches enables you to determine the level of fit and identify which coach you want to partner with.
3. Increasing self-awareness – a personality profile and/or 360 degree feedback can be valuable to provide insights into your behaviour and impact.
4. Initial coaching session – arranged to suit your diary, this enables you to agree and explore initial topics and establish trust.
5. Subsequent coaching sessions – regular meetings, either virtually or in person, will result in tangible benefits from a personal and professional perspective.
6. Review and feedback – Hanover will regularly ask you for your feedback on your leadership coach to understand how the relationship is working and whether any adjustments need to be made.
