The reality of today’s workplace demands leaders with a broader repertoire of skills and abilities; than even a few years ago. Although a healthy ratio of leaders possess the potential to lead more effectively, the complexities of organizations, the market place, and technology, frequently require specific expertise to enable leaders to develop and effectively utilize latent or newly acquired insights and skills. Coaching leaders to maximize their leadership effectiveness will pay measurable benefits to any organization. Effective leadership will better ensure that your employees are motivated, committed, engaged and effective – invaluable assets in this age of global and intensely competitive markets.

The Marathon Human Resources Consulting Group team has the experience and expertise to assist your leaders to develop a broadened repertoire of leadership skills, through a systematic and interactive process of one-on-one coaching. Utilizing psychometric instruments, and/or 360 degree assessment, and open-ended discussion, our consultants will conduct a comprehensive measurement and evaluation of the following individual factors:

A Marathon coaching consultant will then prepare a detailed Career Development Report on the results of each psychometric instrument, for both the individual and the organization. Using the report as a baseline, we will provide constructive and detailed feedback to the individual, building on relevant existing strengths, and areas that require further development. With self-awareness being one of the significant factors inherent to leadership effectiveness, we will increase the individual’s insights into how their leadership and other interpersonal behaviours affect others and, how others respond to them. We will assist them through coaching, to increase their level of self-awareness, to build upon their leadership strengths and, to think and act strategically. Throughout the coaching relationship we integrate the concept of continuous self-development, to encourage self-motivation and responsibility for continuous development of leadership skills. Any development process, to be truly effective, does not have a “best-before” or “end” date – it becomes a continuous commitment, where the individual “raises the bar” each time they achieve skill and style milestones in their leadership behaviours.
