What Does Your Coach Deliver to You?

5/17/2010

     When you contract with a coach, you typically have some desired outcome--an improvement you believe can be better made with some assistance.
     Along the way, however, your coach should be delivering a wide variety of support.  Take a look at "What Does Your Coach Deliver to You?" to see how much service your coach is providing.

Of What Value is Coaching to an Organization?

5/17/2010

     This week's article is more of a report on the Southeast Prism Award conference in Atlanta than my typical practical guidance on how to take action with your colleagues, boss, and direct reports.

     If you are not currently using a competent caring coach, personally or organizationally, perhaps this week’s article, “Of What Value is Coaching to an Organization?” will stimulate your considering it.

Why You Don't Find Out What You Need to Know

5/3/2010

     Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee, on page 92 of their book Primal Leadership," write “Leaders have more trouble than anybody else when it comes to receiving candid feedback, particularly about how they're doing as leaders."

     But that shouldn't be such a devastating situation, right?  Don't leaders naturally have a pretty good idea of how they perform as leaders?

     Nope.  Not according to the same authors:  "The higher up the ladder a leader climbs, the less accurate his self-assessment is likely to be."

     Self-deception may be the biggest problem a leader faces.  How does one overcome this problem?  Feedback.

     But it's not as simple as saying the word.  Obtaining accurate, actionable feedback is not easy for leaders.  Enhancing you leadership skills starts with greater awareness of both what your skills actually are and what your skills could be.

     Take a look at today’s article, “Why You Don’t Find Out What You Need to Know.”

A Proven Process for Building Leadership Skills

     The reference books identified in the article have shown that leadership skills cannot be learned in conferences and the classroom like a person can learn technical and functional skills.
    
Perhaps your organization already has a process similar to the one described in this week’s article, “A Proven Process for Building Leadership Skills.”


          I welcome your feedback and comments.
