Developing skills for effective leadership

For many business leaders “Firefighting” often encroaches on an already busy schedule; fixing issues that might immediately be apparent, but at the cost of time that could be spent developing a business or the leader’s personal skillset.

Leadership coaching creates a challenging but safe environment, where a leader can explore their own competencies and work with a coach on their personal development, addressing issues that could be inhibiting growth that simply wouldn’t otherwise be identified.

Understanding the leadership challenge

The’ Leadership challenge’ is often thought of as the scale of the task facing the leader. However, there are a couple of other very significant factors.

The first is the context the Leader is operating in. Items such as the maturity of the organisation, the potential in the market place, the historical performance of the business etc. The third factor is the capability of the leader to contribute. Factors such as experience, technical skills, personal capacity and behavioural preferences will also be significant factors.

Learn with an experienced critical friend

Leading an organisation can be isolating, especially if you work within a niche industry and don’t have the luxury of a network of peers close at hand.

By working with one of our experienced leadership coaches, not only do you get a ‘sounding board’ for ideas, you also get the benefit of years’ worth of experience.

Is Leadership & Management coaching right for me?

People come to leadership coaching for a variety of different reasons, but it can add most value when employed at the beginning or very early stages of a significant change or challenge within an organisation.

If a business has begun to stagnate, or growth is happening at a slower rate than planned, leadership coaching could help identify areas for improvement that would otherwise go unrecognised.

What our clients say

Oxford Innovation have been an invaluable source of support for our business as rapid growth requires very careful planning and management. One of the crucial lessons I have learnt is that a business can actually be at its most vulnerable when it is experiencing a period of growth.

Lucy Jewson – Founder & Managing Director at Frugi

With Will’s coaching, we have transformed the way we think, improved our management structure, applied efficiencies, doubled the size of the team and increased turnover by in excess of 60% in the last few years… I have used Will Cairley not so much as a coach but as part of the team.

Paul Raglan – Managing Director at Mining Searches UK

Business coaching from Oxford Innovation has been fantastic. Access to recruitment support has been really important for our company as we rapidly look to expand our team. I am looking forward to using Oxford Innovation’s support in the next 12 months to arrange the business into two sides, the digital and the technical practice. We are aiming to grow the digital practice to be at least 50% of turnover and if we can do that, then being in the top 100 UK agencies is just the beginning.

Samuele Armondi – Managing Director at Everest Media

I don’t think we would have done half of the things that we have done without business coaching. The figures are proof that Oxford Innovation have made a positive change to the business, and it’s not just about turnover, our profits are increasing each year too.
