Executive, Management, Team Leader Coaching

Why do some people not persist with the exercise programmes, the diets, the learning of a new language or hobby or a new skill?

Why is the acquisition of a new habit or behaviour at times very difficult and the person feels awkward, out of their comfort zone and even made to feel strange by those around him/her? At times it is easier to go back to the old behaviour, the old way or style that the person has become used to, relied on/habitual and second nature.

It becomes obvious that in the initial stages, just like a fitness programme, or any change initiative, you want as many things going in your favour as possible. A personal trainer for three to six months, an executive coach to immerse you in the thought patterns of a constructive leader, to encourage, praise, remind………… Hence the role that we can assist in.

In sport, athletes have sought out or joined their coach of choice to develop and enhance the athletes’ performance. Often the choice is made on their belief that the chosen coach will get the best out of them, or enable them to perform at their optimum.

A great deal of what has been learnt in the sporting arena has made its way into the business world , with it roots in sport psychology.

Historically, managers were selected on the basis of their technical skills, knowledge, what they know and on their ability to “get the job done”. This transition for a person from worker, to front line manager, supervisor, manager to leader may have been also based on other factors.

With this transition, in addition to getting the job done, the managers are:

  • Expected to do more with less
  • Continue to develop their people, teams and organizations on an ongoing basis
  • Understand the interpersonal skills and emotional competencies that are in play and their role influencing these, including the leadership- corporate culture- performance link
  • Understand themselves and continue to develop themselves
  • Expected to manage relationships and build networks on top of their day-to-day jobs!

What has the company or organization provided that person for that transition? That is, as they move from “doing” to “getting others to do.”

Meelup Management’s flexibility in this area is driven by the individual/ team/ organisational current reality and their individual and collective desire and commitment to move toward an improved state- vision- preferred result.

We can provide samples of different approaches during our presentation, including samples of Meelup Moments.
