Leadership does not occur in a vacuum; it takes place within organizations of all sizes. And these organizations are all learning organizations, with varying degrees of learning disabilities. Organizational LearningConnectionsOur name, Cohero, comes from the Latin "Cohaere:" to connect, to embrace, to adhere, to stick, to join. Our effectiveness as leaders is determined in large measure by our willingness and ability to truly connect with those we wish to lead. IndividualsThe 'o' at the end of our name makes it a first person verb meaning, "I connect, I embrace, …."CollaborationOur name also evokes the importance of collaboration (or Co-Heroics). While acts of individual heroics are important, they often stem from breakdowns and failures that effective collaboration could have avoided. Collaborative LeadershipCollaborative Leadership requires more than just "getting along."StrengthsIt requires each leader knowing their strengths, and being aware of the relationships they need to build to complete the strengths needed by the organization.RelationshipsAssessmentThe CoHero Leadership Profile Assessment provides a way for individuals and organizations to assess their leadership competencies so they can understand how to leverage their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses.EffectivenessMore importantly, it provides insights into how these strengths can contribute to our effectiveness in one scenario while undermining it in another.CompetenciesKnowledgeThe knowledge that this assessment tool provides serves both the individual leader and the organization.RolesThe organization can ensure that it has the right mix of people on board, and that the right people are in the right roles.Coaching & ConsultationProvide business leadership, management and organization coaching and consultation_257256ca-0240-11e5-99c0-b61e51fed04fLeadership AssessmentsDefine leadership roles in relation to the phases of learning._25725882-0240-11e5-99c0-b61e51fed04f1LeadersUnderstanding the CoHero Profiles requires first understanding that there are six "phases" that define the activities within all learning, and all learning organizations. Both individuals and organizations have natural preferences for, and are better at, specific phases in this learning cycle. And leadership roles are defined by the six tri-phase profiles, with each profile leading organizational functions within the associated phases: Ideation, Expectation, Affirmation, Automation, Disruption, Investigation.Leadership Team AssessmentsIdentify roles and situations that play to each leader's strengths._25725936-0240-11e5-99c0-b61e51fed04f2TeamsOne of the biggest mistakes many leaders make is trying to be good (or even great) at everything. Our leadership assessment gives you the insights to make you a more effective and powerful leader by finding roles and situations that play to your strengths, focus on work you enjoy, and compensate for your challenges. It helps you see and understand how your strengths in one situation can become a liability in another.Cultural Assessments_257259e0-0240-11e5-99c0-b61e51fed04f3Leadership Coaching / Consulting_257279d4-0240-11e5-99c0-b61e51fed04f4Certification Training_25727b46-0240-11e5-99c0-b61e51fed04f5The 3-day training towards coaching certification in Understanding Change and Developing Leaders using the CoHero Leadership Framework Profile (CHLFP) involves understanding two primary topics: the CoHero Leadership Framework, and the Profile Assessment Reports. The 4-day CoHero Certified Change Leader training provides additional Change Leadership topics that are related to the CoHero framework and also actionable in a learning organization.The CoHero Leadership Framework is based on the principle that organizational learning, management, and leadership are intricately linked. These topics have been traditionally described as unrelated, or only somewhat related, at best. And learning has usually been described as just activities related to individual training. Understanding these fundamental relationships is key for certification.The CoHero Individual Leadership Profile is based on the principle that there are different types of leaders, and discovering your profile is key to successful alignment with organizational roles. The topic of leadership has been traditionally described as one either being a leader or a follower. But there are different types of leaders needed within most organizations. Understanding how to interpret an assessment for your client leaders is key for coach certification. This report also works in conjunction with the CoHero Leadership Team Profile and the CoHero Organization Cultural Profile.2015-05-24http://www.cohero-institute.com/about-us.htmlOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
