Abstract:
The best leaders using coaching – the art of deep listening and powerful questions - to guide their teams forward. With coaching, project leaders can overcome some of the common pitfalls of a project for example, lack of motivation, idea resistance, poor communication, encouraging everyone to speak up, creating psychological safety.
Ruth Pearce, in collaboration with Berrett-Koehler Publishing, in 2018 published a book about turning project managers into project motivators. Based on Ruth's experience with the use of character strengths and coaching, various recommendations were made through the story of Maggie a program manager in a troubled team.
At the same time, Ruth started looking at the levels of social intelligence in project professionals compared with their non-PM colleagues. What she discovered was that social intelligence seems to be disappointingly low! And as social intelligence is part of the glue that holds a team together, this can be a problem.
There are ways to build social intelligence and to partner with people who have a higher propensity for it. Another approach is to develop coaching skills to bring out the best in the team. We can coach individuals, groups, and teams, and the in this session we will explore all three.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain what coaching is and how it is a helpful skill for a leader.
- Experience coaching approaches firsthand.
- Develop strategies for coaching in typical project scenarios.
- Identify ways to coach through challenges.
- Identify when coaching does not work.
