Executive Coach Toolbox

Irrespective of the organization level, we all have a BOSS!!  And, as we get more senior, we often have multiple bosses.  A critical factor in our career success is our ability to build relationship bridges with our senior stakeholders. Those of us who are able to do this find it easier to get the doors to open for the best opportunities.

 

Building the relationship bridge with your own Boss may be easier said than done!! Therefore, in this conversation we draw upon the experience and wisdom of SIX senior leaders across industries and domains, and ask them for their secrets on managing the relationship with the BOSS effectively.

The six leaders are:

Balaji Aravamuthan – Global CIO, UPL Limited

Dr Sujatha Narayan – MD, Faiveley Transport India

Vijay Krishnan - Executive Vice President, Kennametal India Limited

Abhay Valsangkar – Management Consultant

Anand Ganesh. -  Executive Coach and Management Consultant

Rupesh Tripathi - Head of People at KPMG Global Services

The 3 questions that these senior leaders answer are: their best tips on building a strong relationship with the Boss; how to get the Boss to see your point of view, and how to calm the Boss when she or he is upset.

As executive coaches or leaders we often support our clients or colleagues change some ways of thinking or being that are toxic or damaging to their relationships and results.

It seems that every one is aware of the way this person is, except the individual!

And, as their coach or leader we need to recognise five ways (viruses) in which this individual can create their very own pandemic; and we need to support them with some antidotes that will minimise the negative impact for them. So, we discuss five antidotes to the five viruses that impact our wellbeing!!
