Leading well requires hard work, intentionality, determination, grit, and sometimes a lot of courage. Your brand of leading didn’t come with an instruction manual.  Coaching will help build your brand and manual.

The Process of Coaching:

  1. We’ll talk about the specific challenge you are facing and what is preventing you from moving forward.
  2. Collaboratively work to determine what needs to happen to address those challenges.
  3. Support you as an accountability partner to grow your leadership capacity and take action to resolve the most pressing challenges.

Coaching is Right for you if…

  • You want to be a better leader but are unsure of what to do next.

  • Your good intentions are falling short of your desired outcome and need different perspective.

  • You are easily distracted, lack the focus you desire, and are feel overwhelmed.

Overcoming Challenges

Moving from technician to manager and formal leader.

Identifying what is really important for you as the leader.

Getting unstuck from the problem you’ve been wrestling with and getting results.

Finding a thinking partner that is confidential, non-judgemental, and focused on you.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY

Leadership is using your influence to achieve an organizational objective.  Influence is more than the title you have, it’s about getting things done by conveying a vision, engagement with others, and equipping people to succeed and getting out of the way while maintaining accountability. Leading well requires integrity, character, and physical and emotional well being.

about

The Phelps Leiter Group was formed in 2023 when I retired from my executive role at a financial regulatory agency as well as a retired U.S. Naval Officer. As I moved from team leader up to the executive ranks my passion for developing others never wavered and helping others achieve their goals remains my mission. Thinking strategically, setting a vision, developing others, and natural curiosity are hallmarks of my leadership style and ability.

“I have spent my entire career coaching and mentoring people so they can achieve more and be more professionally and personally.  It’s my passion to see others grow and succeed.” – Bob Phelps

What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

Marshall Goldsmith

This book is for newer leaders who have moved into a new position. The essence of the book is that those skills (most likely technical) were very important as an individual contributor. However, as a formal leader and manager you need different skills to succeed in your current role and prepare for future roles of greater responsibility.
