Dr Chris Shambrook information sheet

About This Event

As an industry leader, you may have noticed that some situations will call for the visionary in you, while other moments will require you to roll up your sleeves and take on a more hands-on approach.

So how do you know which part to play and when?

Step Change has produced this blog – The 4 Executive Modes: Which One Are You? To define the four roles of Leader, Manager, Mentor, and Coach– and to explain how each approach can greatly affect results.

"Leader, Manager, Mentor or Coach – which one are you? Ever wondered how leadership style affects the whole team?"

To establish more value into these core executive roles, join the webinar with Dr Chris Shambrook of PlanetK2 on Thursday, 18 June at 4.30 p.m.



Chris and Ashton will elaborate more on the following discussion points:


  • The differences in Performance Value between people who are led, managed, mentored and coached
  • The possibility of having different mindsets in terms of success for the person doing the role
  • Moving between these four executive roles to drive your organisation towards greater heights

Make this as a team activity and look forward to another productive discussion. Don’t forget to prepare your questions for the Live Q&A. Secure a slot and share to anyone you think would benefit from this.

Here’s what you need to know:
