Coaching

 

 

"Even if executive coaching costs $50K (which it doesn't), it's barely a rounding error to invest in the coaching of a key player who has responsibility for millions of dollars and for key human resources.  Coaching is a success if one direct report, who used to be intimated to speak up, comes up with an innovative idea."

High-Performing Executives vs. Under-Performing Ones

We now actually understand a great deal about what differentiates the successful leader from the under-performing one.  Successful people are aggressive learners. They are individuals who:

bulletConstantly seek feedback and are extremely analytical about their successes and failures.

 

bulletPossess a finely tuned capacity for self-reflection and self-awareness.

 

bulletSeek a wide variety of experiences, out of both a sense of curiosity and the sense that experience is the best medium for self-discovery.

 

bulletConstantly strive to learn something new and different by searching for comparisons, contrasts, and generalizable insights.

 

bulletFind ways to apply new skills to novel situations.

 

bulletUse strengths to modify weaknesses.

The bad news is that only about 10% of us are by nature active learners.  The good news, though, is that much of what it takes to be an aggressive learner can be coached.
