Training, mentoring & coaching: a path to accountability
One-on-one coaching that turned struggling project managers into promoted, trusted performers.
The challenge
Background
Multiple clients asked DuraBante for help with project managers who lacked understanding of parts of their job. That led to performance gaps in delivering expected work and miscommunication about those gaps.
In each case, management saw more value in training these individuals than in replacing them.
Our approach
What DuraBante did
On average, we spent more than 40 hours over a couple of months with each individual.
Assessed
Performed an assessment and identified gaps between expectations and performance.
Tailored
Adapted our approach to each individual’s needs.
Planned
Developed a personalized accountability matrix and action plan.
Coached
Taught each person to manage expectations from a management and stakeholder perspective.
Outcome
Results
- Improved communication and reporting.
- Better presentation skills.
- Ability to communicate current and future project management requirements effectively.
- Stronger project management skills.
- Greater confidence and self-awareness.
- Multiple promotions, increased responsibility, and more credibility with management and key stakeholders.
Companies that invested in their people ended up with employees who not only met expected deliverables but became real assets to the organization.
