What are the benefits for you as a participating manager?

As a participating organization you will:
- Leverage the experience of your managers to address key concerns in your organization
- Promote a learning culture
- Improve the capacity of your managers in a cost and time effective way
- Enhance trust and harmony among your teams
- Develop champions for effective change
What are the overall benefits?
We have a great deal of "heroic leadership" these days, with much focus on "top management". CoachingOurselves promotes an engaged corps of middle managers who are strategically positioned to drive change. CoachingOurselves promotes a more committed, informed, and energized style of management. This is not "top down", nor is it really "bottom up". To quote the title of an article by Professor Nonaka, dean of Japanese management thinkers, this is "middle-up-down management".

"Some of the material was new to us, some was familiar but framed in a different way, and some gave us a new framework and new language to incorporate immediately into our group dynamic. The content was great, but the biggest benefit to us came from the interactive discussion, and taking protected time to share and explore together."
