Leadership coaching with SOQ
Data-driven Development of Innovative Leadership
Leadership coaching based on a SOQ (Situational Outlook Questionnaire) measurement offers a unique, science-based approach to developing leaders who can create and maintain an innovative organizational climate. This coaching combines objective climate measurement with personal development, using the SOQ – with more than 55 years of research – as a starting point for targeted interventions and growth.
The coaching begins with a thorough SOQ measurement (in the form of 360°) that provides insight into nine crucial dimensions of the innovation climate within the organization or team. This data forms the basis for a personal development process in which the leader learns how she/he can influence and strengthen each of these dimensions. During the coaching sessions, concrete skills such as:
- Creating psychological safety for experimentation and new ideas
- Effectively balancing between challenge and support
- Encouraging open dialogue and constructive debate
- Developing a leadership style that fosters innovation and creativity
- Implementing practical interventions for climate improvement
