Global Financial Crisis

I don't know about you but all this talk about the GFC doesn't help me to stay focused and positive and it certainly doesn’t make me want to jump out of bed each and every day to be an inspiration to those I lead. So I have changed the way I think about it!  The GFC is here and we are all part of it and it will take time before it finishes but we have a choice as to how we think and behave. We can get caught up in it and make it worse for the business and our self or we can stop, think and develop a clear plan as to how we will manage it.  So, this is what we are doing with IB Coaching clients.  We are helping them to think about how they can be focused, clear and have a specific plan to get through this period in history.  If you'd like to be part of this positive approach, which by the way can make you feel empowered rather than feeling helpless and hopeless, give IB Coaching a call to work out a way forward for you and your organization.

Now, more than ever you need to be investing in yourself and your key people. It could cost you significantly if you don't.  Naturally all organizations are worried about their costs but they also need to know what can assist them to lead more effectively during periods of significant stress and what can actually help them to come out the other end of this GFC in tact.  When anyone is under duress they are unlikely to make the best decisions and if you have a whole organization that is operating like this, think about what the results could be!

This period in history is a time of serious unrest and business and leaders must take ACTION, right now. These times come and go but when you are right in the middle of it, it is very hard to think clearly and many of those in management have never been through a crisis like this, so it could very well feel like sailing without sails. BAD decisions can easily be made that create the very nightmare you were trying to avoid in the first place. Services delivered to Washington DC & Adelaide.

The GFC is the worst seen since the Great Depression. It has sent shock waves through business. Rock solid corporations have failed. The most powerful leaders in the world met at the G20 in the United Kingdom and are in continued dialogue to ensure the global economy gets back on track.

Those employed don't know if they will be next to be sacked. Leaders are scared, very scared because they don't know whether they will have a business tomorrow, let alone be able to afford employees. In times like this, organizations and key people can lead from fear instead of from confidence and clarity. When leaders have an extra set of ears and eyes (executive coach), they have someone to discuss their issues with. The coach becomes a sounding board; the executive can discuss issues they are reticent to discuss with colleagues because of a fear of backlash. They can lead powerfully, with confidence and clarity.

_Process

The process IB Coaching uses enables leaders to have a microscopic look at what they are really doing as opposed to what they think they are doing. It is not that they do not know what to do; it is more likely they are just bogged down in detail. The coaching relationship is often one of the most valuable the executive has because the coach provides absolute confidentiality, honest feedback, support, encouragement, challenge, when necessary and guidance.

The work they do with IB Coaching enables leaders to plan for success, they learn the importance of regularly stopping and thinking, reflecting, observing and taking time out so that they do not get caught up in fear and busyness; rather they have the courage to do what they are paid to do: lead effectively, make tough decisions when necessary, hold people accountable and strategically plan for success. Leaders thrive instead of being stressed and working harder and harder to fit everything in. They stop feeling ashamed that they need help: they realize that they do not have to do it by themselves and lose the embarrassment of thinking that they should. Anyone who thinks about it will realise that an Olympic Athlete is only where they are because of a natural gift, hard relentless work, commitment to their goals, overall long term plan and a team of just as committed professionals, so why should leaders expect to be able to be everything to everyone and to do it by themselves.

Testimonial

The process Merydith uses is unique to any other I have experienced. She approaches the whole leadership-training role from a unique perspective. Merydith does not lecture in a direct sense; rather she builds an initial framework, providing starting cues and ideas, and through the use of self-reflection she allows the participants to create a vision for themselves, allowing you to formulate a development and improvement process that is tailored to your individual needs and leadership style.

The work I have done with Merydith has provided me with a whole new way of approaching my work. It has given me the tools with which to construct a framework on which I can manage and balance my role. Through the use of this process I have been able to build on my own personal strengths and develop the tools and formulate a strategy for success that works for me. I used to work hard without stopping to reflect if I was making the best use of my time. I am now working a lot smarter and as a result have developed a process to improve departmental outputs and reduce stress levels.

Applying a systems approach in the department's context has lead to:

1. The development of a structured system to achieve the objectives of the department in the most effective and efficient way;

2. A greater understanding of the interdependencies that exist between the various parts of the multi-agency system;

3. The development of structured approaches that bring together the various parts of the multi-agency system;

4. A better understanding of each person's role and responsibilities necessary to achieve our common objective;

5. Understanding the extent of our capability and identifying resource constraints prior to committing to unrealistic targets;

6. Continually improving multi-agency through measurement, evaluation and review.
