Leadership Coaching

Coaching for Global Advantage, GROVEWELL's culturally calibrated coaching approach, enables a corporate leader to adapt and perform to his or her highest potential when encountering the unpredictable demands of international business, including the unfamiliar mindsets and practices of business counterparts from anywhere in the world.
-
Crafted by corporate anthropologists and perfected throughout hundreds of engagements with corporate leaders around the world, ours is the only business leader coaching available that has been deliberately crafted to be global-minded in content and approach, not merely a Made-in-America product that's "global" in distribution.
-
Our coaching develops corporate leaders who are global-minded.

Why Is Cultural Competency Important for Global Leaders

Our Coaching for Global Advantage ("CGA") is similar to other leadership coaching in that it addresses the performance and developmental needs identified by coachees and/or their supervisors and HR partners. 
-
But CGA is different, too: The CGA coach’s mission includes building cultural competency coaching for global business success that some coachees and client companies don't identify as needs because they aren’t knowledgeable about the depth and variations of cultural competency challenges.

Outcomes of "CGA" for Each Leadership Coaching Recipient

  • Consistent on-the-job goal attainment
  • More versatile performance repertoire
  • Enhanced global leadership competency
  • Better relationships with diverse colleagues
  • Self-correcting behavior in new environments
  • More effective, faster transitions into new environments
  • Capacity for intentionally sophisticated leadership worldwide

Is CGA a Totally Different Type of Corporate Leadership Coaching?

Coaching for Global Advantage adds value to the work of seasoned leadership coaches by enabling them to deliver deeper intentionality whenever they address the conundrums typical in the global marketplace.  Our approach is built on the recognition that cross-cultural challenges rarely show up as clearly recognizable cross-cultural challenges.
-
Coaching for Global Advantage unites two fields:

»intercultural consulting: practical cultural competency

»executive coaching: focus on leader & company needs

 Leadership Coaching

Coaching for Global Advantage delivers quality-assured coaching for...

  • ambitious business leaders determined to develop their capacity for sophisticated, genuinely global leadership;

    • -
  • leaders facing a challenging transition due to international relocation, company change, and/or promotion; and

    • -
  • professionals at any level facing a performance challenge, whether or not it directly involves global responsibilities.

The Five Unique Roles of a CGA Global Leadership Coach

In five ways, Coaching for Global Advantage practitioners transcend the typical roles of an executive coach: 
-
1.  Anthropological Perspective.  Each CGA coach strives to recognize the assumptions and values that animate the coachee’s professional choices and behaviors.  This is critical, for it is at this deep, out-of-conscious-awareness level that conflicts and misunderstandings arise among businesspeople from diverse backgrounds.
-
2.  Tailored Way-of-Being.  Each CGA coach consciously monitors her way-of-being with the coachee, striving to approximate his or her home culture’s expectations regarding advising-type relationships.
-
3.  Contribution to the Agenda.  Each CGA coach contributes to the agenda of her work with each coachee.  Her mission includes building cultural competencies that many coachees and clients aren’t even aware of – and thus don’t identify as needs – such as our Six Imperatives for Global Leadership. 
-
4.  Just-in-Time Intercultural Wisdom.  GROVEWELL is heir to the 55-year-old intercultural field’s research-based grasp of the “how” of successful interactions across cultures, i.e., the "how" of practical cultural competency.  The coach’s role is to bring this wisdom to bear, just-in-time, on the coachee’s performance issues and his development as a global leader.
-
5.  Focus on Tacit Knowledge.  “Tacit knowledge” enables individuals to get things done in cooperation with others.  It isn’t merely about what to do; it’s about the nuances of why and especially how to do it that way.   The efficacy of this knowledge is sharply reduced when one works with others in or from an unfamiliar culture.  At the heart of a CGA coach’s approach is this challenge: How can this executive gain locally effective tacit knowledge?

Six Imperatives for Global Leadership Coaching

Six Imperatives are addressed by our coach together with coachee- and company-identified developmental needs:
-
1.  Accurate Interpretation of events and behaviors enacted by others from anywhere in the world.
-
2.  Cultural Self-Knowledge so that differences can be recognized as precisely different from what?
-
3.  Confident Adaptability based on knowing how to learn and how to make subtle behavioral shifts.
-
4.  Appropriate Performance so that actions can be fine-tuned to be acceptable to local stakeholders.
-
5.  Empathic Collegiality leading to trust with colleagues and counterparts across mindsets and values.
-
6.  Organizational Resonance focusing on the company's global goals while the coachee learns to help attain them.
