Context
The client is a director-level leader within the senior leadership team at Leicester City Council, the largest city in the East Midlands, with a portfolio for delivery, communications and governance. The council is responsible for looking after a diverse and growing population of over 350,000. Leicester City Council is also the largest employer in the City, employing over 12,500 people to deliver the services it has responsibility for.
The client’s primary objective in undertaking leadership coaching was to help her review and gain clarity on her overall Leadership identity, brand, values and impact. A secondary objective was to enable the client to reflect on her career ambitions.
What We Did
Emintell worked with the client over a series of months, to support her to articulate and gain clarity on her leadership identity and style, and impact. A key part of this was supporting the extrapolation of a clear set of core values, for her, with associated meanings and benefits. Gaining clarity in this area, supported the client’s awareness about what really matters to her in how she leads people and in her decision-making process. This provided validation and insight that her own authentic style, which is value and purpose based, is absolutely the right style and approach for her and the people she leads and influences. This resulted in a notable increase in her levels of confidence and assurance in her leadership style and impact.
Another core area which aided the client was in understanding her core strengths. The client undertook a strengths profile, which categorised core realised strengths, unrealised strengths, those that are learned and areas of weakness. The client chose to focus on integrating a number of the unrealised strengths into realised ones, to give her even more leverage and flexibility in her leadership style and impact.
The client is highly impressed with the results and value that the coaching programme gave her and is committed to further coaching with emintell, as her chosen coaching partner to continue to support her overall leadership development and impact at Leicester City Council.
