Subject-matter experts often need support when they move into management roles. I help them build the complementary skills they need and feel confident in their leadership posture.
Sometimes it is the “loneliness at the top” that pushes them to look for a competent mirror. Sharing individual challenges, tensions within the team or expectations from the board with an external manager offers a neutral space, free from power plays.
Do we need to surface what the teams expect so that operations stay efficient and aligned with set objectives? One-to-one interviews with every stakeholder quickly reveal each person’s real issues, both organisational and relational.
A tailored coaching journey, agreed in advance, enables the manager to fulfil the role, lead the team with respect and competence and assume every responsibility towards the hierarchy.
