Effective leadership is crucial in high-pressure scenarios like those of banks
Seek executive coaching from an executive business coach.
Many organizations, including financial institutions like banks, fail to hit profitability targets due to limited exposure to strategic leadership. Leadership’s failure rate in meeting desired profitability targets is estimated to be 60 percent. The underlying reason being bank managers embarking on strategic leadership without acquiring leadership training. As a result, executives lack the strategic leadership skills required to boost profitability.
If this sounds like your bank’s situation, seek executive coaching services from an experienced coach. Here is what to expect from leadership training at FocalPoint Business Coaching of Foxborough, MA:
Foundational Skills
Before anything else, our leadership course focuses on developing the fundamental communication and leadership skills that bank managers and other employees absolutely must possess and leverage on a daily basis. These are referred to as foundational skills. These include self-awareness, learning agility, communication, and influence. Without acquiring these basic skills, leadership won’t even be able to step on the path for success, let alone face the big challenges that lie on it.
Acceleration Skills
Once the foundation is built, the training program moves on to acceleration skills. These skills are primarily focused on grooming bank leaders to handle various situations that will inevitably occur on the job. Examples of these skills include facilitating change, coaching, resolving conflicts, delegating, and providing feedback. The bulk of these are focused on managing people and addressing issues that emerge in banks.
Challenges to Expect
Next, our leadership program will introduce you to the most common management challenges to expect in bank settings. Banks have their own issues and if you’re not prepared to handle them, your leadership performance can suffer. Among the biggest challenges include inspiring others, honing effectiveness, managing stakeholders, guiding change, and so on. We’ll also help you understand how to respond to those challenges.
Hands-On Training
Practice is what ties everything that’s learned together, which is why our executive coaching focuses on hands-on training too. Ultimately, the goal for learners is to apply management skills to organizational scenarios. Hence, you can expect follow-up skill practice sessions, experiential exercises, short video-based scenarios, role plays, and more.
Evaluation of the Competencies
Finally, it’s also important to assess the results. This involves assessing the leaders against critical leadership competencies. The outcomes of the evaluation will highlight the competency gaps among specific leaders. These gaps will then be used to suggest what they can do to build their leadership skills.
