Coaching for Team-Based Leadership
7th Executive Coaching SymposiumNovember 17, 2022
IESE’s 7th Executive Coaching Symposium, organized by the school’s Executive Coaching Unit, will be held in-person on the Barcelona campus on November 17, 2022 and explore team-based leadership.
We know great teamwork produces great collaboration, great shared learnings and great results levering diverse points of view and capabilities. But can you achieve it in all teams in all circumstances, including when hybrid or remote working lies at the heart of the way we work?
Focusing on team-based leadership, the Symposium will explore the link between team effectiveness, leadership and coaching, including:
• The leader’s role as key to creating fully integrated, effective teams
• The use of diversity in all its forms – function, opinions, personality, gender – to enable impactful change in the short, medium and long term
• Coaching as part of the team leader’s essential portfolio of competencies
We look forward to sharing a great day with key-note speakers, special guests and, of course, yourself, bringing your own experience along with that of many other business leaders to enrich the conversation and outcomes.

Topic 1. A Leader’s Essential Guide to Psychological Safety: 7 Keys to Creating and Supporting a High-Performing Team
Workshop facilitator: Mr. Stephen Stynes, Leadership Coach & Founding Partner at Nous TeamWorks
Summary: Much has been written about the importance of psychological safety for teams. But many leaders struggle to understand what exactly they need to do, or stop doing, to create and protect psychological safety in their teams. In this session, we will share the key areas of focus – as well as blind spots – for leaders who want to effectively lead a high-performing team.
Topic 2. Conscious Leadership: Building a Resilient Leader
Workshop facilitator: Mrs. Felicidad Cristóbal, Consultant
Summary: A leader is not built in one day. We need to understand what is going on inside each one of us to be able to maintain what helps us in our way and to change what does not. And what is inside? Why cannot we face life the way we want? Why do so many things make us suffer? How can we build the person we would like to be, the leader which lies within us?
Topic 3. Quiet Quitting Phenomenon: How to Help Leaders Navigate and Take Care of their Teams in Times of Uncertainty, Applying Changing Mindset Principles
Workshop facilitator: Agnieszka Wolińska-Skuza, Ph.D., Managing Director at MasConsulting Art & Business
Summary: An interactive session to help the leaders to look at the Quiet Quitting phenomena from a different lens, focusing on a strategy for employee retention and productivity enhancement. Strengthening leadership skills by creating the conditions for taking proactive actions, building engagement in the workplace, and reducing disengagement and burnout. Testing the barriers and conditions and learning how to mitigate risks by adopting the growth mindset and applying changing mindset principles in times of crisis and uncertainty.
