PACESETTING
COACHING

The AUTHORITATIVE Style in Action
Mobilizes people toward a vision
• Provides clarity and help others to understand that what they do matters and why
• M aximizes commitment to the organization’s goals and strategy and consistently aligning direction back to the vison
WHEN THE STYLE WORKS BEST:
When changes require a new vision or when clear direction is needed
• The standards for success are clear to all
• Gives people the freedom to innovate, experiment, and take calculated risks
“Come with me”
9
The AUTHORITATIVE Style Risks
This approach fails when
If the leader becomes
When a leader is working with a team of experts or peers who are more experienced than he/she is
overbearing and undermines the egalitarian spirit of an effective team
“Come with me”
10
The DEMOCRATIC Style in Action
Forges consensus through participation
• Spends time getting people’s ideas and buy-in
• Let's colleagues themselves have a say in decisions that affect their goals and how they do their work
WHEN THE STYLE WORKS BEST:
When a leader is uncertain about the best direction to take and needs ideas and guidance from able employees.
• Listens to colleague concerns
“What Do You Think”
11
The DEMOCRATIC Style Risks
If used exclusively or in wrong situations
Doesn’t make sense if colleagues are not competent or informed enough
Consensus could remain elusive resulting in teams feeling confused
Building consensus is wrongheaded in times of crisis
12
The PACESETTING Style in Action
Sets high standards for performance
• Sets extremely high-performance standards and exemplifies them
• Obsessive about doing things better and faster, and asks the same of everyone around
WHEN THE STYLE WORKS BEST:
• Quickly pinpoints poor performers and demands more from them
When all colleagues are self-motivated, highly competent, and need little direction or coordination
“Do As I Do Now”
13
The PACESETTING Style Risks
If overly used, the colleague climate may suffer
Colleagues may feel overwhelmed by
No room to take own initiate. Work becomes very task focused
No clear guidance. They are expected to just KNOW
demands and morale drops
14
The AFFILIATIVE Style in Action
Creates harmony and builds emotional bonds
• Natural relationship builders creating strong emotional bonds and benefit from the loyalty formed • Drives positive and collaborative communication in teams, sharing ideas and inspiration
WHEN THE STYLE WORKS BEST:
When trying to build team harmony, increase morale, improve communication, or repair broken trust.
• Provides flexibility and freedom
• Offers ample positive feedback and recognition
“People Come First”
15
The AFFILIATIVE Style Risks
Despite its benefits, the affiliative style should not be used alone to avoid the following risks
Poor performance may go uncorrected
Could leave teams adrift with no improvement plan
Leaders may end to own emotions openly
“People Come First”
16
The COACHING Style in Action
Develops people for the future
• Helps colleagues identify their unique strengths and weaknesses and tie them to their personal and career aspirations • Encourages colleagues to establish long- term development goals and help them conceptualize a plan for attaining them
WHEN THE STYLE WORKS BEST:
Works best with colleagues who want to be coached
• Give plentiful of instruction and feedback
• Excel at delegating; they give colleagues challenging assignments
“ Try This”
17
The COACHING Style Risks
The following are scenarios where the coaching style would be ineffective if applied
When colleagues are resistant to learning or changing their ways
If the leader lacks the expertise to help the employee along
If the leader is unfamiliar with or simply incompetent at coaching
18
The COERCIVE Style
Demands immediate compliance
The coercive style should be used with caution and in the few situations when it is imperative:
Short term results
When the style works best
Provide clear direction
In a crisis
Break failed business habits and shift people into new ways of working
To kick start a turnaround
Set clear performance improvement expectations needed from colleague
