Action Learning Leadership Coaching
In an Action Learning Leadership Coaching program, participants build leadership capability in the course of achieving their business goals. Kummer Consulting offers a robust method for technical leaders to deploy new leadership tools to their challenges in real time. The heart of this continuous performance improvement is the creation of a sustainable learning routine. The coach and the client commit to a series of weekly action learning sessions, where they plan upcoming work, analyze the issues, and immediately implement lessons learned.
