Join us on May 20th to learn how Executive Coaches can effectively coach abrasive leaders to solve workplace bullying.
With Laura Crawshaw, Ph.D., BCC, Founder & President, The Boss Whispering Institute
Sylvie Matteau, Executive Director, The Boss Whispering Institute of Canada
About this session:
Abrasive leaders – executives, managers, and professionals who engage in interpersonally aggressive behaviour – exact a high price in terms of both employee emotional distress and costs to the organization. Sometimes, employers feel helpless to intervene, especially when dealing with an abrasive leader whose technical expertise is of critical importance to the organization.
In this session, you will:
- Learn a coaching model that incorporates action research and concepts derived from evolutionary psychology and emotional intelligence theory.
- Understand why bosses bully, know how to distinguish an abrasive leader from other types (e.g., adequate, irritating, avoidant, and aberrant executives), and how to quickly establish a trusting coaching alliance.
- Discover specified techniques to overcome characteristic client defensiveness, develop awareness, and help abrasive leaders relinquish their destructive management styles in favor of interpersonally-productive strategies.
- Know how to defuse client defensiveness for all types of clients.
