Every successful entrepreneurial journey begins with a plan. Business Planning is a process to determine the future of the organization and what resources will be needed to ensure success.

Leadership Coaching

The Leadership Coaching Process

The RPC Leadership Associates, Inc Leadership Coaching process helps leaders improve their effectiveness and performance in a more purposeful way. It offers the leader the opportunity to stand back and take a fresh look at their experiences and assumptions by enabling them to…

  • Identify inner resources yet untapped.
  • Target priority areas for growth and development.
  • Promote healthy alignment between career and personal life, so they can sustain the vitality necessary for effective leadership.
  • Uncover specific behaviors that need to change in order to achieve short-term and long-term desired results.
  • Challenge underlying beliefs and values, and offer possibilities   for fundamental change that will enhance the overall quality of life.

The coaching process can take a number of forms depending on the needs of the individual leader and the desires of the organization who requests the leadership coaching. The process typically unfolds as follows:

  • The leader and coach meet to discuss the need and make a decision about whether leadership coaching is the best approach to achieve the desired results. As coaching is goals based, an initial idea of the leader’s goals is established at this point.
  • The leader and the coach identify key strengths, weaknesses, and developmental needs through a comprehensive assessment process and put together a plan. At some point, the assessment process may include a 360-feedback process that includes the leader’s manager, peers and subordinates.
  • The leader and coach work together to achieve the agreed upon objectives. The process cadence generally ebbs once the leader establishes momentum toward acquiring enhanced leadership abilities and developed an organizational support mechanism for ongoing growth.

Leadership Coaching Outcomes

Potential outcomes from a leadership coaching relationship can include:

  • Greater Clarity of Attitudes and Behavioral Focus
  • Improved Decision-Making Skills
  • Enhanced Creativity and Adaptability
  • Improved Alignment in all Aspects of Life
  • Greater Leadership Effectiveness

 

Business Process Improvement

It is said that processes comprise up to 85% of the issues in any business.  All entrepreneurial ventures are run on five core processes and a host of supporting processes.

Business Assessments

There is likely no better tool to helping the entrepreneur succeed than self-awareness. Self-awareness involves looking across different aspects of one’s attitudinal thought processes to create a complete view of YOU.

Business Process Improvement Outcomes

Changing the status quo to meet customer demands and increase profitability has become one of the foremost business issues of today’s competitive environment. Whether providing a tangible product or services or both, ensuring these business processes are effective and relevant to sustainable growth is key to the entrepreneur’s success.  Our processes listed below can be facilitated individually or in any combination with other processes:

  • Inbound logistics and Outbound Logistics
  • Core Business Operations
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Customer Service
  • Supporting Processes (Human Recourses, Financial Operations, Technology Support etc.)

As a result of improving these processes, the entrepreneur will be able to help their business achieve measurable increases in profits, revenue, and focus on a sustainable manner.

Business Assessment Outcomes

To reach optimal performance you must understand your Entrepreneurial DNA as well as WHAT natural talents you have, WHY you are motivated to use them and HOW you prefer to use them. We combine the BOSI DNA Assessment with 3 additional assessments in the ADVanced Insights to provide the most current and up-to-date input to the entrepreneur’s self-awareness journey.

  • Not all entrepreneurs are wired the same.  Using data from thousands of entrepreneurs over a nearly four year period led to the discovery of BOSI – a behavioral quadrant that segments entrepreneurs into 4 very different groups.  The BOSI DNA Assessment identifies your entrepreneurial strengths to support the growth of your business.
  • Over 50 years of scientific research reveals 3 distinct decision-making styles – Personal, Practical and Analytical. Leaders make decisions using all 3 styles yet tend to develop a preference for one over the other two.  Our Attribute Index provides information on WHAT attributes the entrepreneur uses to make decisions: Intrinsically, Extrinsically or Systematically.
  • Our DISC Index provides the most comprehensive view of HOW an entrepreneur prefers to behave especially in the context of working with team members, as a leader or in any environment that requires conflict resolution.
  • Everyone has their own unique mix of personal drivers and motivators to help guide them to success. Using the Values Index helps understand WHY an entrepreneur is motivated to do things so they are able to better align themselves to their environment with what creates in them the most passion.

These individual assessments can be leveraged by themselves or in conjunction with other individual assessments and development processes. They can also be used to assist the entrepreneur in the hiring process as they grow their teams.
