leader as coach
an introduction to coaching for leaders
“We need leaders who are emotionally intelligent, and able to model and champion co-operative working. They’ll coach, rather than command; they’ll be driven by empathy, not ego. The digital revolution needs a different, more human kind of leadership.”
what is coaching?
Revered 1980s pioneer of Coaching and Leadership Development, Sir John Whitmore, defined coaching as "unlocking a person's potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them."
Whitmore's G.R.O.W. model remains today the simplest, most widely used, and most effective framework for transforming problem solving conversations into coaching opportunities. It is the model we use in our Leader As Coach program for communities and organizations seeking to create human-focused workplaces for the 21st Century.
what is a coaching culture?
A Coaching Culture is an organizational development model that enables sustainable transformation by fostering open coaching-style conversations in the workplace on a daily basis.
The introduction of coaching competencies into an organization is a powerful strategy to create an adaptive workplace culture committed to the ongoing process of development and learning.
Communities and organizations that have implemented and developed a coaching culture over time report significantly reduced staff turnover, increased productivity, and greater employee satisfaction.
