Specialty Behavioral Interventions

Counselling corporate employees by GautamManthan

Counseling for Positive Change

Not just a counselor; but a Facilitator of positive change.

What an employee goes through at work directly impacts their life outside the office, and vice versa.

Counseling at the workplace is a valuable, preventive tool that helps employees better understand and manage stress, work-related issues, or even personal problems. To employees in need of support, a counselor can work as a mirror, an empathetic friend, a sounding board, a trained guide, and much more. Professional counseling is strictly nonjudgmental and confidential.

Leadership Development, Leadership Coaching

A continuous journey of self-discovery, learning, and development.

‘Leadership Coaching’ and ‘Leadership Development’ are the ‘secret sauce’ for building and improving leadership traits essential for nurturing and nourishing successful leaders. This is applicable across functions and levels, from individual contributors to team players to CxOs. It is a highly effective, structured initiative designed to facilitate the metamorphosis of individuals into effective leaders. It is inherently human to have blind spots and tremendous yet untapped potential. ‘Leadership Development’ and ‘Leadership Coaching’ programs identify and enable employees to work on those areas of improvement.

Executive Coaching

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

It is lonely at the top. Every CxO needs a friend, philosopher, and guide. Sounds like a cliché but has been proven true in the history of mankind.

Executive Coaching has proved itself to be a great modern tool for providing critical help to C-Suite leaders as well as to organizations. Such executives need and expect guidance, support, and emotional intelligence especially when they are at a crossroads or are facing blind spots. ‘Support from where’ is always a big question. Many feel apprehensive about asking for it should it render them perceptibly incompetent for the post. In other cases, it is in short supply.

Assessment Centers and Development Centers for corporate employees by GautamManthan

Assessment Centers

‘Flight Simulator’ for Talent Selection.

A prognostic assessment of candidates’ future success based on objective data and specific results.

Ideally, Assessment Centers must replace the usual perceptual hypotheses-based evaluation criteria with a scientific, standardized multifaceted tool for objective, behavior-based, and quantifiable assessment.

You can assess candidates for requisite traits and competencies while avoiding impression-manage and undue reliance on the portrayed past.

Development Centers

‘Vulnerability Scanner’ for HiPo Identification and Development

A stepping stone for a long-term, action-oriented L&D intervention. It is a good tool for identifying, developing, and retaining high-potential employees for future leadership roles. This need-gap evaluation assesses their needs for training, mentoring, coaching, and development.

However, Standalone Development Centers are like a great blueprint without execution. Design bespoke integrated Leadership Development Programs that start with Development Centers and go on to execute long-term interventions to achieve desired goals and results.

Why GautamManthan!

We understand it is necessary, if not mandatory, for an external agency to understand the functioning of businesses, working of various business functions, human behavior, organizational behavior, and the fabric of the organization.

For an external agency to offer you support for your specific needs, even a single miss on the list renders the interventions less effective, if not useless.

Our panel of experts includes experienced hands who have decades of experience in running organizations, working in large organizations, Training, Coaching, Counselling, and Learning & Development.

This enables us to have a bird’s-eye view as well as capture granular details.

And such a diverse knowledge group is not easy to find.

Executive Coaching

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

It is lonely at the top. Every CxO needs a friend, philosopher, and guide. Sounds like a cliché but has been proven true in the history of mankind.

Executive Coaching has proved itself to be a great modern tool for providing critical help to C-Suite leaders as well as to organizations. Such executives need and expect guidance, support, and emotional intelligence especially when they are at a crossroads or are facing blind spots. ‘Support from where’ is always a big question. Many feel apprehensive about asking for it should it render them perceptibly incompetent for the post. In other cases, it is in short supply. 

Enter a good Executive Coach – experienced, curious, asking questions, sniffing out inconspicuous truths, and supporting ‘the Executive’ with candor. An Executive Coach fills the gap that management studies miss – handholding C-Suite executives as individuals. 

Giving them a mirror alongside the window through which they see the world. Alongside reinforcing emotional intelligence, an often-overlooked aspect of leadership.

During our interventions, executives get a factual, yet neutral, assessment.  We support them work on the areas they need for further growth. We help them ponder over the effects of their actions, slow down, or recalibrate their people skills. All this while acknowledging their contributions, building their faith in the importance organization accords them, and honoring their individuality.

Our objective is to bring about behavioral improvements in the requisite facets for an executive. The aim is to cause cultural changes so the entire organization benefits and the executives grow.

Our coaches believe that Executive Coaching is a trilateral liaison between the executive, the coach, and the organization. Each of the three sides must be the right fit for every association in specific. The organization must have compelling reasons to get the executives coached. The executive must be a fit candidate to be coached, and valuable enough to justify the monetary and other efforts involved. Our coaches too must have capabilities to add good value to the proposed engagement.

Isn’t it strange for a consultancy or a coach to talk about the capabilities of their resources? We believe, though professionally qualified and experienced, our Executive Coaches must be conversant with the type of organization, and understand the industry and practices of the business domain. They must be poised to bring great value to the engagement.

Our panel of qualified experts and their respective real-life experiences ensure we get optimum results for each participant. One-size-does-not-fit-all and develop exclusive intervention
