ABOUT US
Our Mission:
The High Potential Leader (HPL) Group coaches, counsels and helps to develop your high potential people in their quests to become great leaders. We accomplish our mission through the application of tested behavioral and social science methods, in a time-limited process that consistently measures success through assessment. We only work with identified high potential leaders or managers-in-transition who are ready to improve, prepared to accept feedback, and willing to assume personal responsibility for the process. We work with organizations that are committed to hiring, recognizing, retaining, and developing resilient people who have the highest ethical business standards.
Who We Are:
The HPL Coaching Group is comprised of senior licensed consultants and doctoral-level, behavioral science and human relations specialists who have decades of experience working with business professionals and corporations. We have consulted with over 150 organizations, providing guidance, assistance, team interventions and one-on-one coaching to executives, managers-in-transition, and high potential leaders.
Grounded in assessment data and measurable outcomes, our team of coaches understands the powerful ‘interdependence’ of individual psychological processes, organizational culture, social and financial variables, as well as family and work histories. Coaching is a multidimensional behavioral process. Our experts never ignore this complexity, or the power of applying the latest models of human change, decision-making, engagement and performance management.
Our process has evolved from our many years of experience working within organizations and corporations, understanding business contexts, and leveraging our backgrounds in behavioral science, training, talent management, and psychology.Our Model:
Our staff is firmly committed to applying a specific model that guides our one-on-one coaching with your high potential leader. Too often coaches maintain a haphazard process that not only deviates from clear objectives, but leads to unnecessary expenses and time for both the candidate, and his or her sponsoring company. The objectives, the process, and the desired outcomes of our Consultative Behavioral Coaching (CBC) are well-defined so that you know that the candidate has succeeded at increasing high potential leadership competencies.
Ten Key Principles of the CBC Model guide all of our coaches:
- Time limited with very specific behavioral success goals
- Well-defined contract with the candidate and the organization
- Application of cognitive-behavioral principles for self-monitoring
- Anchored in quantitative assessment and data
- Guided by ongoing feedback, including 360° input
- Direct application of ‘stages of change’ model
- Focused on resiliency enhancement and personal responsibility
- Real work, real time analyses on a 24/7 basis
- Underscoring an awareness of preferred learning strategies
- Recognition that a coach is not a friend, and coaching is not always fun
These 10 operating principles allow us to customize our work with each candidate. As not all people are high potential leaders and not all high potential leaders are “ready” for development and coaching, we may ask that you delay referring a particular individual to the HPL Coaching Group. We will help you and your colleagues analyze a person’s readiness for coaching…..and we will ask you to defend your organization’s view that someone is indeed an HPL.
Expected Outcomes:
You can expect your HPL candidate to show specific behavioral and interpersonal changes that have been documented and assessed over time. In addition, the candidates will demonstrate the capacity for ongoing personal and professional development, on his or her own, beyond the need for a coach. We expect the integration of knowledge and new tools for self-development, self-monitoring, and continued awareness of changing business contexts. We seek ways to help high potential leaders bolster their resiliency, create value for their employers, model high employee engagement, increase emotional intelligence and significantly improve their interpersonal effectiveness within demanding environments. Coaching is not a one shot intervention. It should be the impetus for a lifetime process of self-directed growth and periodic corrections.
