Investing In Your Leadership Development Is An Investment In Your Future
1
The average new leader makes 140 decisions per day… that's why having a decision-making process to solve problems is critical for your performance and wellbeing
2
New leaders report they feel stressed, overworked and ill-equipped to handle the pressures of managing people and getting their own work done
3
Emerging leaders report they feel pressure to perform immediately while not having sufficient support to take on new people leadership skills
4
Most leaders report they do not have the time to do the forward planning and management tasks their new role requires
5
Leaders who have taken some form of leadership training early on in their career report this has had a measurable impact on their performance and the performance of their team
6
Leaders, and organisations who invest in the professional development of their emerging leaders are setting both the leader and the organisation up for future success
7
Coaching in organisation and leadership settings is an invaluable tool for developing people across a wide range of needs. The benefits of coaching are many;
- 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence,
- Over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills
- 86% of companies report that they recouped their investment on coaching and more (source: ICF 2009).

Anecdotal evidence suggests that leaders who participate in peer networking and support opportunities are more resilient and better equipped to lead effectively on a long-term basis
People Leaders’ Feedback
I engaged People Leaders to coach and develop two of my direct reports who needed practical strategies for managing people, stakeholders, and multiple projects. From the beginning, my direct reports were led through a clear process which started with developing their levels of self-awareness and understanding the impact they were having on others.
This then formed the basis upon which specific goals were formed in partnership with me and the business needs.
As a result of this program; both my direct reports have a clear direction and process moving forward, are more competent in stakeholder management and have a substantial tool kit and resources from which to draw upon now and in the future.
The investment was well worth it, that is why I will continue to engage People Leaders when I have new and emerging leaders that need targeted leadership development.
