Bridge Consulting Group

Managers at all levels are recognising the need for support for the ever-demanding task of managing in a modern, complex organisation. There is an awareness of the organisation in a more competitive, world-wide market place that requires ‘breadth of vision’. At the same time there is interest in the ‘human capital’ and the need for managers to learn skills for bringing the best out of employees, which requires a ‘depth of vision’ All of this has led to an increase in the requests for coaching.

Bridge offers coaching for managers at all levels of the organisation, and we bring the following values and skills into this work:

Effective coaching depends on the quality of the relationship between the manager and the coach. We recognise this fact and give great importance to developing good working relationships.
We bring an understanding of how organisations function as complex systems, with their own culture, values and politics which can make change very difficult. Coaching enables a manager to step back and evaluate these dynamics before deciding on the best strategy for action.
Coaching sessions frequently focus on how to manage a difficult employee. We have considerable experience in helping managers understand how relationships become fraught and what steps can be taken to break a deadlock which has developed between the manager and his/her employee.
Our psychological orientation enables us to see many areas of potential growth and development in individuals in the workplace. We work with managers on their own development and on untapping the potential of their staff.
