Structure of the 6ixth Man Process

Organizations and companies operating in a 21st century socio-political landscape no longer have the luxury of solely focusing on the “bottom line” – unless that bottom line involves the betterment of employees, stakeholders and clients. 6IXTH MAN believes that authentic leadership coaching must address the posture and disposition of organizations and its members to strengthen the core that leads to desirable outcomes. Below is a sample sequence for an organization invested in transformation:

Landscape Meetings

Interviews with key players and group members are conducted to evaluate the current level of authentic leadership and overall “buy in” of the organization to its mission and goals.

Once completed, a customized overview of the organization will be provided. In addition, a proposal will be created and may include any or all of the following:

Transformational Approaches

Through research-based inventories that measure self-identity, authenticity and sense of personal power, individualized guidance is provided to group members through their own personality profiles. This “root work” uncovers the origins of individual behavior within the wider organization.

The process then provides integrative character education workshops that allow group members to intersect and explore new ideas and common passions based on values and convictions uncovered by their individual work.

Translation 1-2 weeks

Depending on the size and individual needs of the organization, periodic or final evaluations will be conducted to recognize how authentic leadership is impacting internal and external relationships, productivity and organizational culture.

This phase includes courageous reflections – a summary of individual and group expressions about the current and future state of the organization.
