Director General (DG) Coaching Program
Refresh, realign, and elevate your executive skills in today’s leader landscape
The Director General Coaching Program supports the development of high-performing leaders to meet the challenges and needs of today’s federal public service. Participants are supported by DG-level former public servant coaches as they strengthen their personal leadership style in a confidential and safe space.
We know that to succeed as a DG in today’s evolving federal public service, you need a trusted coach to help create a confidential and safe space to reflect, a partner to act as a sound board, and a cheerleader to encourage continued competency development such as strategic thinking, managerial courage, resilience, communicating to influence and getting buy-in at all levels, negotiating, and system thinking.
Topics/questions often addressed at the DG level:
- How to build resilience in a world of chaos?
- How to build trust and long lasting relationships?
- How to expand my professional network?
- How to change the organizational culture?
- How to improve my strategic thinking?
- How to influence more effectively?
- How to debrief senior management more effectively?
- How to manage conflict, grievances and harassment complaints?
- How to deal with and support poor or under-performers?
- How to navigate in a changing and ambiguous world?
- How to motivate a team when you may not know the destination?
- How to innovate with limited resources?
