Bay,
It's so good to *see* you again and hear your thoughts on leaders coaching.
The human condition never ceases to fascinate. When "executive coaches" first appeared on the scene, every leader had to have one. It was the thing to do and you weren't worth your salt unless you could say you had a coach. As with so many leadership trends, it ultimately became just that: the "trend du jour". We (consultant/coaches) are still spending lots of time coaching with those who are committed to their own development, but it still can be a struggle to have a leader do the same with the folks "below". (There are many reasons--including "time"--that are given for the hesitancy to coach. That's legitimate until you do the "developmental math" that shows the payoff).
Perhaps "Remember even the top sportspeople have coaches!" is the line that would nudge a hesitant leader to move forward. I like that one a lot.
Do Your Leaders Coach?
That isn't a "gotcha" question. It's simply a direct one. Regardless of the job title, if we're responsible for how other people perform then we're responsible for how they learn to perform even better. One of the things we now know from organizational research is that employees not only want a ...

Greetings, Robert
I think your comment is a wonderful blog post itself!
What I'm noticing more and more is your mention of price and quality being available from multiple sources. Clients who once sold on value now have to compete on price and figure out how to add to the equation through service and long-term relationships. This means that "who" they are over the long run means more than "what" they sell.
Consistency and Trust
"Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you say." That line was spoken by an associate to a speaker at a recent business business event we attended. The interaction between the speaker and the audience was totally out of sync with what he was professing. The result: Great words, no cre...

Hello there, Robert,
Thanks for adding helpful and do-able thoughts to the subject. Personally, I always worry when I'm not hearing some buzz about what's being discussed. Some would like to believe that the participants are "totally on board and don't need to ask any questions." I think you'll agree that the situation is usually just the opposite!
