Erwin Zijlstra has recently become a certified Management Drives coach. Management Drives is a powerful tool that gives insight into the deeper drivers of individuals and teams. It helps leaders and teams better understand why they do what they do — and how that behaviour either supports or hinders collaboration, decision-making and performance.

​

Erwin: “For over 20 years I’ve worked alongside leaders facing complex change. Team coaching and personal guidance have always been a key part of that. Management Drives offers a more objective and deeper view of the ‘why’ behind behaviour. Much of what we do stems from our subconscious. By understanding someone’s drives, we can better predict how they apply their knowledge, skills and competences — and how they respond in different situations. Especially under pressure, people react differently. With Management Drives, we can anticipate that more effectively.”

 

Directly applicable

Whether it’s a leadership, or project team that wants to collaborate more effectively, leaders looking to increase their impact, or an organisation going through change — Management Drives deepens the conversation, strengthens mutual understanding and enhances team connection. Erwin: “Management Drives isn't complex. It’s practical, recognisable, and easy to apply at every level. It’s scientifically grounded (based on Jung and Maslow) and fits seamlessly with my coaching style: pragmatic, situational and future-oriented.”

 

Individual coaching

Would you like more insight into your own leadership style and effectiveness? Management Drives combined with personal coaching is a valuable next step. It uses a six-colour model, where each colour reflects a leadership or organisational style. We’ll discuss your personal profile and how it affects both your performance and that of your team. You’ll receive practical tools to lead with more confidence and impact.

Team coaching

Looking to work with your team? I offer a team-based coaching programme. Each participant receives a personal profile and a one-on-one coaching session. Then, as a group we improve alignment, collaboration and team performance.
