Improving your leadership management

The image of a manager at work is created around his relationship with teams, his decision-making, his communication. But also and especially in its address to employees.

Work on the image of leader with coaching

Building and working on your image and reputation are not easy things. In order to take a step back more, it is interesting to set up coaching.

Executive coaching allows the manager to let the coach intervene in order to collect feedback from employees. He will then be able to know what the image he is sending is and identify the problems encountered in order to improve.

Professional coaching allows you to work on different aspects of leadership management according to the needs of the manager concerned. It can be:

• The posture
• Decision-making
• The management

If the manager encounters problems with his team that require further support in solving problems, team coaching is recommended.

The dynamic of a team certainly depends on the image it has of its manager but also on the well-being of everyone.

This image is sometimes linked to the management style adopted or to conflicts management concerns. Team coaching is then effective.

The image returned by the manager is a direct mirror of his leadership and his posture as a company manager.

It must therefore be flawless internally and externally. While communication is central, taking a step back is just as important to know where to improve.

Calling on a coach to see things more clearly can then be a valuable help.
