Coaching for Managers and Supervisors

Managers and supervisors face a wide range of challenges in their daily work and leadership roles. Continuous change and limited time require a clear understanding of one’s role and strong communication skills. Managers and supervisors have a particular responsibility for KIT’s most important asset: its people. Supporting and leading them effectively is key.

 

The Staff Unit for Conflict Management and Psychosocial Counselling supports KIT managers and supervisors through individual coaching—both in working with their teams and in reflecting on their own behaviour and self-care. The counsellors are trained coaches and serve as your confidential contact persons for the following topics:

  • leadership-related questions in working with employees

  • supporting employees in crisis situations

  • dealing with conflicts involving employees

  • challenging leadership situations

  • reflecting on your own leadership behaviour

  • reflecting on your leadership role

  • handling feedback from employees and supervisors

  • health coaching and stress management

MBSR@LEADERSHIP

Mindfulness in Leadership – Learn more.

 

In this online workshop, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of mindfulness in everyday leadership practice based on the MBSR programme (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) developed by Prof. Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn. MBSR is a holistic approach that teaches practical, mindfulness-based exercises for stress reduction. After the workshop, you can continue integrating these mindfulness exercises into your daily life using the videos provided.

 

As a result, your self-awareness becomes more differentiated and improves; you gain access to your inner resources and learn to develop new perspectives. A mindful attitude supports you in being present in the current moment of your life with acceptance and appreciation. This leads to greater awareness in terms of self-regulation and self-leadership, and supports effective stress management.

 

You will become familiar with often unconscious stimulus–response patterns, enabling you to lead more consciously and calmly. With a mindful attitude, challenging leadership situations can often be clarified and approached more constructively.

 

Further impulses

For anyone who works with managers and supervisors, “do care!” provides a range of OHM materials. The aim of “do care!” is to encourage dialogue between managers and employees and to foster collaboration on an equal footing—ultimately supporting greater well-being in the workplace.
