Coaching for your team
Leadership Bench cohort
Build your bench before you need it. Your Directors and VPs, one room, every other week.
A six-month cohort for six to ten of one company’s leaders at the same level, working on their real teams, with Kolbe throughout and peer coaching in between.
Who it is for
Companies of 50 to 500 people with six to ten Directors or VPs at about the same level. Too many decisions still run through the CEO, a transition is a few years out, or great individual contributors were promoted and it shows.
What happens
- A 3-hour kickoff, in person. Norms, confidentiality and everyone’s Kolbe A result, mapped as a group.
- Ten 90-minute sessions, every two weeks. Judgment, values and instincts, then seats, decisions, coaching, feedback and leading through change.
- Peer coaching among your leaders in the off weeks. Rotating trios, 60 minutes, on a one-page protocol.
- Two private sessions with me for every leader.
- Three sponsor meetings: kickoff, midpoint and readout.
