Supporting Thought Leaders with Leadership Super-Vison

Thought Leaders have the power to persuade the status and authority to move things in a new direction and the credibility to implement real progress and widespread innovation.

This might describe many people in your own organisation. This might even be you. Research tells us that the higher up in the organisation you are, the less direct management support there is.

This begs a question, “Where do leaders go to discuss what is on their mind? How do they know if they are leading ethically and appropriately? “What happens when things go wrong and who do they turn to?”

Coaching Supervision (Super-Vision) has emerged over the past few years as being an absolute essential aspect of being a professional coach. Peter Bluckert describes Supervision as “A structured formal process for coaches, with the help of a coaching supervisor, to attend to improving the quality of their coaching, grow their coaching capacity and support them in their practice. Supervision should also be a source of organisational learning”.

But what about Super-Vision for Leaders? As businesses continue to work within a structure of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity (VUCA) the importance of leaders to have an external, unbiased, professional to talk these things through with is even more essential. This differs from having a coach who’s focus is on goals, targets and business benefits. Super-Vision focuses on the individual and their wider network of clients and stakeholders.

Super-Vision helps leaders to Stop, Think, Reflect on their leadership practice and to work with a professional and qualified supervisor to help them work through complex situations around boundaries, ethics and decision making.

Join us on 17th May to discuss in more detail what this means for you and your organisation. Discover exactly what Super-Vision is and how it differs from Coaching and other talking therapies.

You may not be a Thought Leader but you may be working with Thought Leaders. What are the challenges you have and how might you use these skills when working with others?

If time allows we would like to give you a short demonstration of how a Leadership Super-Vision session might look and sound like.
