Coaching is critical in tough times
LONDON,
ON, May 7, 2009 - Leadership
coaching is important for companies at
all times, but it's especially critical
during tough times.
Jane
Howell, Professor of Organizational
Behaviour and holder of the Taylor/Mingay
Chair in Leadership, Richard Ivey School
of Business, will discuss how coaching
should be built into the ways companies
operate, rather than a random act,
during a lecture on Tuesday, May 12.
"How to
Build Coaching Capacity in Your
Enterprise" will be held from 12:30-2
p.m. at the Toronto Board of Trade. The
lecture is part of a talent development
lunch series for executives.
"Effective
leadership during a crisis can mean the
difference between a company surviving
and thriving or disappearing. When times
are tough, employees turn to leaders for
cues on how to react," said Howell.
"Companies can prepare by ensuring
leadership coaching is part of their
culture."
The lecture
will tackle the myths about coaching,
examine the costs and benefits of
external and internal coaches and
discuss how to integrate coaching into
an enterprise so that every executive,
manager and supervisor is a coach and
uses coaching to deal with performance,
career and development issues.
Howell
develops and delivers customized
programs on leadership, change, teams
and coaching for many companies in
numerous countries. Her research on
these topics has been published in more
than 50 journals and book chapters and
has received international awards.
