Coaching, Communications and Change Course  (CCCC)

The Coaching, Communications and Change Course (CCCC) builds on material in the Basic Leadership Skills Course (BLSC).  The primary focus is on Coaching with extensive use of "role-plays" to provide the student application level instruction.  Students learn to more effectively inspire others to do their best by focusing on three key leadership actions:

  • Communicating clear expectations
  • Recognizing those who exceed those expectations
  • Redirecting those who fail to meet them
Additionally, we take a hard-hitting look at leading through change.  The focus is two-fold:  accepting the role change from boss to coach and recognizing employees' responses to needed change in the workplace.

Attendance:

Every person who has responsibility for leading others should attend this course.  This course is designed as a follow-on to the BLSC.  However, if customer objectives dictate, it can be modified to function as a stand-alone course.

Course Content:

CCCC begins with a quick review of the concepts learned in the BLSC.  It then focuses on seven key topic areas that build on each other and are best delivered in one 32-hour session (four consecutive days of eight hours each).  However, if other priorities dictate, the course may be delivered in smaller blocks of instruction.  This course also includes a Senior Leadership Forum in addition to the seven topic areas.  Below are the seven topic areas with Learning Objectives for each:
