Team Executive Mentoring
A mentoring programme tailored to the needs of a group of leaders within the same organisation.
When several leaders from the same organisation are developing their leadership capability, team mentoring can create a strong shared foundation for their development.
The programme is shaped around the organisation's needs, the context in which the leaders operate and the practical challenges they face in their roles.
STARTING WITH THE ORGANISATION
Team mentoring begins by understanding what the organisation wants to achieve and what the participating leaders need from the programme.
This creates a common framework for the group while keeping the mentoring connected to the reality of the organisation and its leadership challenges.
The programme is therefore not a standard course delivered to a group. It is designed around the organisation, its people and the outcomes it wants to achieve.
LEARNING TOGETHER
Working as a group creates opportunities to explore common leadership questions, learn from different perspectives and build a shared understanding of what effective leadership means within the organisation.
Participants can learn from each other as well as from the mentoring process, while applying what they learn directly to situations they are facing in their roles.
Team mentoring can be particularly valuable when several leaders are entering leadership roles, taking on new responsibilities or developing together as part of a broader leadership pipeline.
FROM SHARED LEARNING TO INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT
Team mentoring creates a common foundation, but leaders will naturally face different situations once they return to their individual roles.
A group setting cannot address every individual challenge in depth. For this reason, individual mentoring is a natural next step after team mentoring.
Individual sessions give each participant the opportunity to discuss their own decisions, relationships, challenges and development in a confidential one to one setting.
The transition from team mentoring to individual mentoring can therefore combine the benefits of shared learning with the depth of personal development.
HOW IT WORKS
The scope, structure and duration of the programme are agreed with the organisation at the beginning.
The programme may include a combination of group mentoring sessions, reflection and practical work based on the challenges participants are facing.
The approach is reviewed as the programme develops, allowing the focus to evolve as the needs of the organisation and its people become clearer.
The aim is not simply to develop better individual leaders. It is to build leadership capability that can create value within the organisation.
