Leadership, Coaching & Mentoring

Innovative organizations need diverse leadership to collaborate, integrate, build trust and agility. Leadership must therefore be developed and coached regardless of organizational role. We believe in promoting leadership spread throughout the organization starting with person leadership. In this context, paths on leadership are promoted in the first instance to team leaders and then spread to other levels.

Coaching focuses on the development of human potential: it is a powerful relationship of alliance and collaboration between a Coach and a Coachee or a group/Team of Coachees who voluntarily join. Through a process of discovery, fine-tuning of desired goals and strategic actions, results are achieved. FBK selects its coaches following the direction of the world's largest Association of Professional Coaches (www.coachingfederation.org), which echoes the Code of Ethics and Competencies identified by the International Coaching Federation.

In the convulsive and unstable scenario in which we operate, mentoring is increasingly recognized as an opportunity to integrate the transmission of know-how and guiding values with the development of skills and is confirmed as an effective choice for ensuring cohesion, openness to diversity, inclusion, and aptitude for evolutionary problem solving. To enrich the tools available to staff and support research centers in the challenges of organizational change, a pilot will be launched soon. "Mentoring is a supportive relationship based on the exchange of knowledge, experience and will. Mentors support less experienced people to gain confidence, clarity of goals, understanding and wisdom. In mentoring dedicated to development, even the mentor is changed by the relationship" (David Clutterbuck, Everyone Needs a Mentor, Cipd 1985).
