Leadership Development

Developing Leaders

Leadership behaviours are focused on organizational well-being and “best” people practices. The B.C. Forest Service vision includes a mandate focused on the importance of running the BC Forest service with staff whose individual contributions are consistently maximized, valued and recognized.

An effective workplace needs strong, experienced leaders skilled in managing people and maintaining organizational well-being.

Mentoring

Through formal mentoring programs, employees at all levels set aside several hours a month to share their knowledge and skills with others. Mentors increase their confidence, develop management and coaching skills, and gain unique insight into how others view the organization.

“Mentoring for me represents leadership and commitment to developing others. There are no shortages of opportunities for people to do great things- mentoring provides a forum where mastery and learning converge to become the future of our organization”.

~ Kathy Philps ~ Ministry of Forests and Range

Coaching

Where mentoring allows individuals to share wisdom, knowledge and experience to reach their personal growth objective, coaching involves the transfer of knowledge specific to an individual’s position so that they may improve their performance. Coaching is opening avenues to learning, rather than direct “teaching”.
