Coach2Scale: How Modern Leaders Build A Coaching Culture

In this insightful episode of Coach2Scale, host Matt welcomes Satya Bhanday, SVP and Global Head of Modernization at MLogica. Satya shares his extensive experience in building and leading teams across the globe, including his time at Oracle and NIIT. The conversation delves into the myths of one-way coaching and the importance of a two-way learning process. Satya emphasizes the significance of accountability, trust, and transparency, summarizing his leadership framework as 'AT&T'. He also discusses personal branding, drawing from his experiences with influential leaders and mentors.

Takeaways:

Embrace Two-Way Learning: Encourage a culture where coaching is seen as a mutual learning experience. Both leaders and team members can benefit from sharing experiences and learning together.

Foster Accountability Across All Levels: Cultivate a culture where accountability starts from the top and permeates through every level of the organization. Every team member should take ownership of their roles and contributions.

Build and Maintain Trust: Establish a non-threatening environment where team members feel trusted to perform their tasks without micromanagement. Trust should be a foundational element of your leadership approach.

Promote Transparency: Be transparent with goals, decisions, and rationales. Ensure your team understands the reasons behind decisions, especially in areas like promotions and recognitions.

Personal Branding: Emphasize the importance of personal branding for your team. Encourage them to build a reputation based on their contributions and interactions with others. This helps in their personal growth and the overall brand of the organization.

Feedback as a Growth Tool: Foster a culture of regular feedback, both formal and informal. Constructive feedback helps individuals grow, and an environment of trust ensures the feedback is well-received.

Be a Model of Continuous Improvement: As a leader, always look for areas of improvement in your practices and encourage the same in your team. This includes being open to feedback and willing to adapt.
