MANAGEMENT COACHING 

Why does it matter to invest in your managers to become Unicorn Leaders?

Through Gallup’s research, we’ve seen that 85% of employees are unengaged at work. 

Engaged employees are high-performing employees, and high-performing employees are the ones who help move the needle forward through better productivity, more ideas, risk-taking, creativity, and overall growth and innovation. Overall, high-performing, engaged employees not only drive your organization forward but also thrive and grow with it. 
‍
And what if you knew you already have a lever in your organization that you could pull to change 70% of the variance in team engagement? Would you pull it? Then you need to shift your focus to your managers. Your managers control 70% of employee engagement, that is one’s affinity to your organization.

Once we transform your managers into Unicorn Leaders who improve their teams & create a desirable high performing environment through leadership management coaching. They will be poised to attract better talent, retain that talent, help the teams grow to build the organization YOU want, and be ready for the next colossal disruption(and there WILL be one)!

High-performing teams are adaptable to change. They welcome change. They embrace it - because it challenges them and takes them to the next level of their OWN development. It excites them. It energizes them!

So in a world where talent is so expensive and hard to get and managers are the lever to employee engagement, leadership development becomes the key to connecting the two. Leadership development becomes your best return on investment to maximize the talent potential of your organization by training your managers into leaders.

If your employees are developing, your organization is developing. An energized team is not only the key that will yield results but one that continuously maintains its ability to innovate and sustain GROWTH.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Why coaching and mentoring for leadership development
may be right for you?

To answer this question we peel back to the core of the question - why is leadership important? 

We invite you to ask yourself this question, because to all leadership will mean different things. It may be the difference your business is lacking to reach its next growth spurt. Or perhaps it’s the step needed for focusing on strategy. For any purpose, leadership is important because it can narrow the gap between your people and your goals. Leadership, if done right, can unite and rally your people to transform from a group to a team, and form a team to an unstoppable force of innovation and drive. Unicorn Labs aims to uncover that potential that already exists.

How can you align your workplace with the realities of today’s workforce - and ensure your team can forge ahead in the future?  Team development. 

All growth and movement of a product and a company starts, survives and thrives in direct relation to your employees. 

Our Leadership Training Program uses the 6 Levels of Leadership Training and High Performing Teams philosophy to build up each
employee of your unstoppable team:

team-meeting-psychological-safety

Employees feel psychologically safe in their team and workplace

A solid foundation is needed for building Unicorn teams. Knowing how to create a team where each member feels safe, where their individual work styles are recognized and nurtured, is the basis for inspired and continuous growth.

team-with-clarity

Employees have role clarity and are empowered to make decisions

Managers help give jobs purpose because they can help employees see the effects of their work on the bigger picture and encourage employee development.

brainstorming-session

Employees embrace conflict when communicating

In a workplace where a growth mindset is accepted and encouraged, employees can see conflicts as opportunities to ask questions, listen thoughtfully, and apply new ideas to a project. When leaders act as coaches who model and encourage iterative feedback, problem-solving becomes the norm.

Employees contribute to a culture of leadership

By encouraging a culture of collaboration and innovation, where each employee feels that their strengths and contributions to their team are valued, they feel empowered to continue to strive to do their best to move the entire team forward.

employees-common-sense-of-purpose

Employees have a sense of purpose

Today’s employees want a job that compliments their strengths and aligns with their values.  They want work with purpose and contribution to greater meaning. 

common-company-vision

Employees are connected to the company’s vision

Managers who act as coaches, who recognize and develop each employee's strengths, allow employees to feel their own purpose and contributions are integral to the company’s overall vision.
