The Case for Leadership Coaching
The Need:
- For an organization to learn, people must learn
- Leaders must learn and teach others to learn
- Most organizations operate at 20% of performance capacity
- The higher a person climbs in an organization the less likely they are to use their strengths
- Each person’s talents are enduring and unique
- The greatest room for growth is in the areas of greatest strength
- People change the most when learning is customized for them
- Training programs are not the best way to learn
The Coaching Solution
- Coaching begins with:
- an area where the person can become great
- a challenging situation
- a mistake
- Focuses on the “learning moment” through:
- awareness of the ineffective behavior
- identification and agreement on a more productive course of action that capitalizes on strengths and minimizes shortcomings
The Leadership Coaching Model
1. Assess “what is”
2. Choose what to attend to
3. Act on the choice
4. Deepen learning
If You Grow Them…
