Individualized Leadership Coaching
Nicole Ennen is a certified coach in Hogan Leadership Assessments, one of the most widely used and respected assessments for developing managers and leaders.
No assessment can tell you who you are, only you know that. These types of tools can help us strengthen our foundation of self understanding, particularly when we may be stuck or in a transition period as a leader or manager.
Available for individual clients or for leaders within your organization
The Process:
Book a free intro consultation (30 minutes)
Take the Hogan Leadership Assessment (about 60 minutes)
Schedule two 60 minute coaching calls based on your results where we will create an action plan for your areas of focus and development
Potential to add-on additional coaching sessions as needed
When leaders lack key skills, your organization suffers
Many employees leave jobs because of their Manager
In many employee surveys and attrition research, such as a recent paper from McKinsey, managers are consistently listed as a top reason for employee turnover. A study of US workers revealed that 50% of respondents said they quit a job because of a manager sometime in their career (Gallup State of Manager). In this competitive talent landscape, to keep your top performers, managers and leaders need to use empathetic practices to motivate employees, build a positive team culture, and work through ambiguous situations together transparently.
Managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores
A recent study by Gallup, covering 2.5 million manager-led teams, found that only 30% of US workers were engaged, and that 70% of that variance could be attributed to managers. This disengagement has a real cost to the business, with Gallup estimating a loss of productivity/effectiveness of over $300 billion annually in the US. Good managers not only need to keep employees from quitting, they need to ensure they align individual career goals with the team’s objectives to accomplish both with high engagement.
“I am incredibly grateful for the work that Nicole did with the managers in my department. She created a safe space for people to ask questions, developed rubrics for performance management tasks, and helped us document our best practices.”
