The 4 Executive Modes: Where's the Value?
Thursday, 18 June · 4:30pm

Leader, Manager, Mentor or Coach — which one are you? A free webinar with Dr Chris Shambrook of PlanetK2 on how leadership style affects the whole team: the differences in performance value between people who are led, managed, mentored and coached, the possibility of different mindsets of success for the person in the role, and how to move between the four modes. Step Change’s blog “The 4 Executive Modes: Which One Are You?” defines the four roles of Leader, Manager, Mentor and Coach and how each approach affects results. Session 4:30–5:10pm — make it a team activity, prepare your questions for the live Q&A, and share with anyone who would benefit. Past event.
