Leadership Coaching

Stronger Leaders Drive Better Project Outcomes.

Leadership behavior directly impacts how capital projects and enterprise initiatives are governed, communicated, and delivered. Craze, Monroe & Associates' (CMA) Gallup-certified CliftonStrengths coaching helps executives, managers, and teams lead with clarity, accountability, and confidence in the high-stakes environments where it matters most.

Coaching Offerings

Three Tiers. One Framework. Built for Project and Program Leaders.

CMA's coaching practice is structured around three entry points that map to how leaders and organizations actually arrive: from an individual looking to sharpen their edge, to a team preparing for a transformational, strategic initiative, to a senior leader navigating sustained pressure and resource constraints.

Tier 1

Strengths for Delivery Leaders

Individual coaching for project and program leaders.

  • CliftonStrengths full 34 assessment
  • 90-minute debrief session
  • One follow-up session focused on applying strengths to your specific delivery context
  • Written strengths application summary tied to your actual role and program pressures

You already know how to manage a project. This engagement helps you understand how you lead one.

Tier 2

Delivery Team Alignment

Team coaching for project teams, PMOs, and program leadership teams.

  • CliftonStrengths assessment for the full team (up to 12 participants)
  • Half-day facilitated workshop: team grid, partnership mapping, and blind spot identification
  • All exercises grounded in enterprise and capital program delivery scenarios, not abstract workplace examples
  • Team dynamics summary document with facilitation findings and recommended practices
  • One 60-minute follow-up session at the 60-day mark

Every team has strengths gaps that show up throughout the project. This workshop names them before that moment arrives.

Tier 3

Executive Leadership Coaching

Sustained coaching for executives navigating complex programs and organizational pressure.

  • Full 34 CliftonStrengths assessment and 90-minute debrief
  • Six bi-weekly coaching sessions over three months (90 minutes each)
  • Every session applied to the leader's specific program context, not generic leadership topics
  • 90-day sustainment plan with defined behavior anchors and self-monitoring prompts
  • Optional: one session with a direct report, peer, or supervisor for triangulated feedback

This isn't about becoming a better leader in the abstract. It's about leading this program, through this period, with the team you actually have.

Why Leadership Coaching

Better Leaders. Better Project Outcomes.

Every project governance problem has a leadership component. Change orders that go unchallenged, stakeholders who aren't aligned, schedules that slip without escalation: these aren't just process failures. They're leadership gaps. CMA's CliftonStrengths coaching addresses those gaps at the source.

Gallup's CliftonStrengths framework is one of the most widely validated tools in leadership development, used by thousands of organizations worldwide to identify natural talent patterns and build them into consistent, high-performing behavior. CMA's certified coaching applies that framework to the specific pressures of project and program leadership, connecting strengths directly to delivery accountability.

FAQ

Leadership Coaching FAQs

Is this coaching only for executives?

No. We coach executives, managers, and high-potential leaders depending on your organization's priorities. CliftonStrengths coaching is effective at every level of leadership, and often most impactful at the manager level where daily project decisions are made.

What is CliftonStrengths and why do you use it?

CliftonStrengths is a Gallup-developed assessment that identifies an individual's top natural talent themes from 34 possible themes. It's one of the most research-validated tools in leadership development, used by organizations worldwide. CMA's coaches are Gallup-certified and use CliftonStrengths to ground every coaching engagement in the leader's actual strengths, not a generic model.

How is progress measured?

We define specific, observable behavior goals at the start of every engagement and track progress through session outcomes, stakeholder feedback, and leadership performance indicators that connect directly to project and organizational results.
