Coaching Oriented Leadership Program
As organisations in India grow in size and complexity, leaders are stretched and consumed by transactional pressures more than ever before.
They are also often working a level or two down to get things done. As a result, task focus ends up preceding people focus, performance precedes well-being and results precede development.
At the heart of all this is a transient relationship between the leader and his or her team members.
Leaders on the other hand recognise that they can no longer draw power from position, information asymmetry or hierarchy. They need to adopt a coaching oriented style.
Seasoned Leaders who have been groomed in this manner are struggling to repair their style and become coaching oriented.
On the other hand, first time leaders and emerging leaders may be in a better position to adopt a coaching oriented style as they start their leadership journey.
Coaching Oriented Leader Program
The six-month Coaching Oriented Leader Program is designed to give young leaders the space and opportunity to reflect about and proactively shape their leadership style and make it Coaching Oriented.
At the end of this program, your young leaders can expect to:
- Learn to incorporate coaching orientation into their leadership style repertoire with their teams, to navigate the diverse, disruptive and changing world of work
- Effectively lead younger talent who are seeking a working environment with a strong focus on respect, empowerment, development and work-life balance
- Support the organisation’s efforts in creating a coaching culture
“My journey through the Coaching-Oriented Leadership Program with CFI has been nothing short of transformative, both professionally and personally.
This program fundamentally shifted my perspective—from being a “solution provider” to becoming a “thought partner.” I learned the power of asking the right questions, listening with intent, and creating space for others to think, reflect, and grow. Techniques such as active listening, powerful questioning, and structured feedback (like the SBI framework) have significantly enhanced the quality of my interactions with team members.
I am now seen not just as a manager, but as a leader who develops people. In essence, the Coaching-Oriented Leadership Program has helped me evolve into a more effective, empathetic, and impactful leader. I would strongly recommend this program to any professional who aspires to lead with purpose, build high-performing teams, and create a culture of continuous learning and development.
