Coaching

Interim Management: coaching teams

Coaching or “Mentoring” assignments involve the Interim Manager offering operational support and sharing their experience with the teams involved. Coaching opens up faster and more focused development opportunities both for the people involved and the company.

What does Mentoring involve in a coaching context?

A Coaching or “Mentoring” assignment aims to accelerate the development of a Manager’s skills in-house. Whether newly promoted or identified as having high potential, the employee benefits from an Interim Manager’s experience and progresses rapidly.

Moreover, in transformation, growth or restructuring contexts, companies are choosing to rely on internal rather than external resources. Consequently, these key managers may need ad hoc coaching from an experienced Interim Manager.

It is important to note that in the case of Mentoring, the Mind Transition Manager always comes from the profession for which they are coaching.
