Coaching ServicesWhat Do You Need to Become the Best Version of Yourself as a Service Leader?
- An Independent Perspective – We work with field service and support leaders and customer-centric teams who are competent, capable, and have constructive intensions. They can greatly benefit from an independent voice that doesn’t have an agenda, isn’t trying to impress, and can bring prudent candor to unique challenges and opportunities.
- Unique Insights – If you’ve never done a service job, you’re going to be hard pressed to coach someone else to manage, lead, coach, listen, or countless other skills, knowledge, and behaviors field service and support professionals need to master and lead effective teams. When your coach works across organization sizes, geographies, and industries, you benefit from their unique perspectives beyond the industry norms you already understand.
- Relevant Experiences – When it comes to service and support leadership, it’s often less about skills or knowledge – you already know what to do. The outcomes you desire most will come from a change in behaviors. That’s where working with a Service Evolve coach who has worked with other executives, leaders, and teams like yours will provide invaluable experiences to implement proven practices.
Here are just a few of the scenarios our team has been called in to help:
- New in a service management or leadership role, trying to clean up after the last leader, or exploring new paths
- Surrounded by conflicting service and support agendas, priorities, or expectations
- Unclear or unnecessarily overcomplicated service strategy, vision, or path forward
- Unpolished communication style within and external to the service organization
- Overwhelming set of prioritized service and support pursuits, misaligned with the value agenda
- Outdated service org structure or the wrong service and support talent in the wrong roles
- A dominant thinking style by the service leader and his/her entire team, versus whole brain thinking to move key ideas forward
- Not learning or growing proactively in the evolution of the service and support function
- Behaviors not conducive to the service and support brand they want to establish and reinforce for themselves
Even the most competent field service and support leaders need new perspectives and new behaviors that support them. Stakeholder Centered Coaching focuses on modifying executive behaviors that produced increased confidence and targeted results. Service Evolve coaches are a sounding board for leaders as they face critical issues, launch initiatives, or deal with tenuous cultural issues. Leaders grow into executives and our team of executive coaches have the experience to elevate their perspectives to meet today’s demands.
Today’s service, support, and customer experience leaders are tasked with aligning the organization’s overarching growth strategy with field service and support execution, managing service talent resources, and achieving profitable growth through exceptional experiences. Service Evolve uses a proven method to help leaders see their service teams as individuals who have strengths to contribute and weaknesses to overcome. Coaching is about helping teams be more accountable and deliver on commitments.
Service Evolve coaches work with leaders to highlight their strengths, shore up their growing edges, acquire new skills and knowledge, while they modify key behaviors. Embracing new knowledge and skills prepares existing and emerging service and support leaders to grow with the organization, creating new and valuable competencies.
The nature of field service and support work has changed and so have the teams who support it. Unifying a service team around a common mission, while ensuring they understand the team dynamics affecting their work is critical. Service, support, and exceptional experiences are all delivered by people, who need to have a foundation of trust and deepening relationships. Service Evolve uses the HBDI® assessment tool to identify team dynamics that are essential to productivity, profitability, and innovative growth. Our coaches also advise teams, and their leaders, to navigate the virtual service environment and improve digital communication and collaboration skills for consistent results.
Service Evolve helps groups to move past relationship challenges, executive change opportunities, M&A impact, complacency and stagnation to re-energize team performance by helping them better understand team dynamics. Your teams also need guidance to effectively develop, implement, and monitor service and support strategies during times of immense change. Field service and support teams benefit through an atmosphere of learning and growth while working on day-to-day service and support tasks or through participating in innovation teams.
