Leadership Development & Soft Skills Coaching – Technology and Engineering
By the very nature of the industry, Tech and Engineering firms have highly competent staff who have substantial technological skill and expertise. But because careers in these fields usually appeal to certain personality types (often introverts), many of the people assuming sales and leadership roles have not developed the interpersonal skills to build and manage relationships effectively, build consensus, or lead and motivate others.
AG Strategy specializes in developing these “soft” skills in “high-competency” individuals who may not even see the value in them until after the training is competed. We can work with leaders and sales reps using a learning methodology specifically designed for those who may not have “natural” predilection for these interpersonal skills, achieving learning that might otherwise not take place and making them more effective and productive team players.
Leadership Development & Soft Skills Coaching – Services Industry
Mid-level managers in many organizations are loyal employees who have worked their way up through the ranks by hard work and dedication. Many of these managers have started on the shop floor, the workstation or the assembly line, and although highly knowledgeable in the day-to-day operations of the business, often stumble when faced with challenges that require higher-level people skills.
We design and implement training and coaching programs to develop a wide range of managerial soft skills, including communication, motivation, team-building, and empathetic leadership specifically for those without formal management training.
Customized Training Programs
Many training programs fail to achieve traction simply because they employ a “one-size fits all” curriculum designed for the “average” learner in a group. Everyone learns differently, and for maximum results training must be adapted to the learning needs of each and every individual.
We leverage our expertise in psychometric assessments and neurology to create precisely targeted solutions tailored to the individual. Our training programs, customized for your content, are designed to bring your employees to the next-level, and our expertise in customized training includes curriculum development, instructional design, evaluation strategies, and train-the-trainer instruction.
Change Management
Change management is an approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. It is an organizational process aimed at helping change stakeholders accept and embrace changes in their business environment. Change management is a structured process for ensuring that changes are smoothly and successfully implemented, and that the lasting benefits of change are achieved.
In the modern business environment, organizations are facing rapid change like never before. Globalization and the constant innovation of technology result in a constantly evolving business environment. Recent phenomena such as social media and mobile adaptability have revolutionized business and the effect is an ever-increasing need for change, and change management.
The ability to manage and adapt to change is an essential ability required in today’s ultra-competitive business environment. Organizations most able to adapt create competitive advantage, while companies that struggle with change get left behind.
Organizational change can have many faces. But regardless of the type, the critical aspect is a company’s ability to win the buy-in of their organization’s employees to the change.
Executive Coaching
Planning for individual development requires making an honest assessment of one’s goals and needs, as well as identifying realistic steps to move forward. In order to help executives achieve their goals we assist in exploring and improving self-awareness; identifying personal strengths; understanding and managing strategies for “blind-spots” and developmental needs; and strategizing for career and personal development.
