Professor Peter Hawkins: Creating Coaching Cultures

The New Zealand Coaching & Mentoring Centre is delighted to present Professor Peter Hawkins as our 2011 visiting expert

Creating Coaching Cultures: Ensure coaching cultures start with the top team!

Organisations thrive when they embrace a powerful coaching culture. Strategies to build a coaching culture are most successful with an engaged and high performing top team.  Peter Hawkins, Professor of leadership at Henley Management College and head of the Association for Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision is steadfast in the importance of:

• Engaging the leadership team in building a coaching culture
• Enabling the leadership team to function at peak performance
• Moving top teams beyond lip-service and good intentions to powerful coaching leadership behaviours
• Ensuring that the leadership team model and champion coaching approaches to leadership and performance

When the relationships within the team work well, and all members of the team have a clear focus, the team experiences significant shifts in performance that cascade throughout the whole organisation. When top teams don't work well the rest of the organisations sees:

• Executives competing for airtime in meetings.
• Innuendos and sarcasm bubbling to the surface.
• Small clusters taking gripes to each other after meetings.
• Heads nodding in agreement but division leaders resisting the decisions

In his latest book, "Leadership Team Coaching", Peter Hawkins brings together international experience and research on high performing teams and looks at why the world needs them now more than ever. Coaching boards or senior teams running a business is very different from most other teams. In parallel to running the business they must also focus on transforming the business and its wider system. Helping them master the art of collective, transformational leadership is the key goal of coaching for the top team.

 Team coaching is the process by which a team coach works with a whole team, together and apart, to improve their ability to work together, to improve their collaborative leadership skills and to increase their ability to engage with stakeholders in ways that transform the wider business.

In this content rich session, Peter will illustrate the elements that are needed to develop a coaching culture, he will address how to engage the top team through team coaching plus look at the 5 disciplines of team coaching.
