WHAT TO EXPECT

The goal of Protea’s program is to change behavior and strengthen important areas such as self-knowledge, efficiency, communication skills and strategic thinking. The program is based on goal setting to bring about great results.

The program consists of three parts; education on leadership presenting theories and models that we know work well in practice; coaching that will help the participant frame important questions and find the answers, that will hone the strengths and help transform weaknesses; mentoring that will introduce new perspectives and propose new ways of doing things. The coach will nudge, confront and elevate the participant in order to bring out the best possible leader.

What our clients say

”Thanks to Protea Leadership I have created a framework for goals and results that help me to develop the organization in a sustainable way.”

individual programs

Every program is individualized and targeted at the areas that are most important for this unique person to strengthen and develop. The adaption is made when choosing what theoretical material to use and also by how we use the time in each meeting.

The program is based on well-established methods for setting and achieving goals. The goals are both long term, what the individual wants to achieve by the end of the entire program and as well as sprint goals between every meeting that are down to earth and concise.

The goals cover three areas:
• How to develop my department’s performance
• What I want to improve as a leader
• Personal goals

We follow up on goals during every meeting and then we set new goals for the next step of your journey to grow as a leader and as a human.

From start to finish this program lasts about one year. To change habits and attitudes and to build knowledge and experience takes time. During this year a lot of different events will take place that will feed the development process. The leadership coach will support the insights and changes that will benefit not only the participant but also the entire company.

Goals as an engine of change

Below are examples of different goals.
Organizational goals. Creating a more efficient process for recruitment, developing a model for financial control, strengthening the level of participation from coworkers, opening two new offices, increasing sales by 50%, developing three new services where we are market leaders.

Leadership goals. Improved listening skills, improved negotiation skills, improved ability to delegate and motivate coworkers, improved skills in performing Personal Development (PD) meetings with coworkers, improved ability to give both positive and corrective feedback, improved skill in setting relevant goals for coworkers.

Personal goals. These goals often focus on improved self-knowledge. The better I know myself the easier it will be to feel good about myself, interact with and understand other people. This is fundamental to motivational leadership. Typical patterns that we work with are judging myself or others too quickly, avoiding or seeking conflicts, taking responsibility for things that are not within my area, taking negative remarks personally, procrastination. Personal goals aiming at improving work life balance can also be included.

leadership training in groups

Protea also offers training in groups. These programs are always adapted to the needs of each client. Contact us for more information. We work with management teams and other groups.

The aim can be to improve the cooperation within the team or to give leadership training to the group. Sometimes we combine these to areas in one program.
