It turned me into a better, more rounded, flexible manager
Every year Interserve International’s 38,000 employees vye for the much-coveted Employee of the Year Award. Andy Ford says the executive coaching he’d received from TWI’s Tom Flatau certainly helped in receiving this prestigious award.
Andy cites three critical areas where he was able to transform his performance:
By really listening to others’ opinions and being prepared to change his approach, Andy’s says “ It’s made me more open-minded and flexible – I’ll take a step back and think from different perspectives now, rather than just diving in and doing.”
“When asked tough questions in meetings, I could sometimes be over-bearing, letting my emotions overrule logic – I have now learnt how to control my emotions in tricky situations and end up with more balanced solutions and better decisions from an elevated perspective.”
“I always considered that I was a reasonable negotiator,” says Andy, “but I now reckon I’ve really raised my game. Over the past year I’ve managed to get some pretty substantial wins, which would have been doubtful before. I now have the tools to enable me to get those wins, particularly in final account negotiations.”
Andy went through extensive executive coaching with Tom Flatau which enabled him to learn the key management skills that has one of the highest returns on investment – up to 800% is often reported.
In short, says Andy, “coaching has enabled me to improve my relationships with key people throughout the business. It has given me balance and flexibility, to handle situations appropriately and correctly, and to consider the big picture.”
I’d encourage everybody to get on board and give it a go – I’m sure they’d see the same benefits as I did; even after 37 years in the business, I have witnessed a substantial shift in myself
