Coaching helps managers to reflect and develop their leadership styles. Through individual feedback and targeted exercises, they learn to lead more effectively and motivate their teams better. This can also be seen in a project that we carried out for a renowned company in the automotive industry:

Initial situation

Our client’s long-standing “Head of Sales and Marketing” is promoted to the role of “Commercial Director” as part of an internal reorganization. He was to be prepared for his new role in the best possible way. 

This new position, which involves a direct reporting line to the CEO and membership of the Executive Board, places high demands on his communication and leadership skills. In particular, he must be able to act in complex communication situations and take into account the different needs of his communication partners and find suitable solutions.

During the joint briefing, the new “Commercial Director” recognized the added value of the coaching and expressed his gratitude to his employer. 

Objectives

Our coaching pursued the following objectives:

  • Clarity in the new role

To be able to find one’s place in the new role through clear boundaries and a deeper understanding of the new management position.

  • Increase efficiency and effectiveness

To increase the personal efficiency and effectiveness by adapting the personal leadership behavior and reflecting the personal understanding of leadership. 

  • Develop the personal leadership style

To further develop and adapt the personal leadership style and the relevant tools.

  • Strengthen empathy and communication skills

To better understand the views and emotional states of one’s interlocutors and to manage the own communication behavior more consciously.

Results

The final debriefing of the coaching showed clear and sustainable developments, which were also confirmed by his feedback:

“I was impressed by my coach’s empathetic and structured approach.

When I started my new management position, I was excited, but also unsure how I would master the many challenges.

Thanks to the OTP coaching, I was able to master challenging communication situations with confidence. My coach helped me to recognize my strengths and use them in a targeted manner. Together, we developed strategies to lead my team effectively and at the same time drive my own development.

Today, I not only feel confident in my role, but am also able to inspire my team and motivate them to perform at their best. For me, the coaching was the key to a successful start and the foundation for long-term success in my new leadership role.”

Our client was also very satisfied with the positive development and the successful transition into the new management role. 

“Thanks to the coaching provided by OTP, our Commercial Director has successfully mastered the transition into his new leadership role. The targeted coaching sessions not only helped him to further develop his leadership skills, but also to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics within the team. The coaching has demonstrably enabled him to proactively tackle challenges and clearly define goals. 

The support was invaluable at this crucial stage of his career. We can recommend OTP’s coaching to anyone who wants to get off to a successful start in a new management position.

A win-win situation for everyone involved!
