Created by Henry Mintzberg and Phil LeNir, CoachingOurselves has developed on the principle of self-directed learning.
Small groups of managers, without external facilitators, trainers or professional coaches, meet every other week, sometimes over lunch, to focus discussion on management topics and develop actions.
Participating managers are responsible for their own development and the results.
This makes CoachingOurselves a scalable, high impact development program with impressive results yet low overhead for HR.
Each CoachingOurselves meeting focuses on a topic, such as “Decision Making; It’s not what you think”, “Dealing with the Pressures of Managing”, or “Thinking Entrepreneurially to Grow Your Business”, prepared by a world-renowned management authority, such as David Ulrich, Marshall Goldsmith, and Henry Mintzberg.
The management group downloads the material, discusses it in light of their own managerial experiences, and considers how to use it for improvements in their jobs, their units, and their organization. A sense of community develops in these teams, which often become major catalysts for change in their organization.
Over fifty CoachingOurselves topics are clustered into a variety of themes, such as Basic Management, Engaging People, Establishing Strategy, and Venturing & Innovating.
