Leader As Coach: Achieve More by Doing Less

Great coaching is a leadership multiplier. 

Mastering the art and science of coaching will transform your impact, elevate your team, and optimize for results. Coaching is a pathway way to ignite purpose and passion in your team!

Achieve More by Doing Less

Often, when leaders aren’t seeing the impact they need to, the reflexive action is shouldering more responsibilities, working longer and with greater intensity. Being a coaching leader means you can get outsized impact from your team by doing less, not more. Coaching Leadership is not about being a sage with all the answers. It’s about making space for powerful questions and for others to find their own powerful answers. Bringing coaching skills into your leadership toolbox has been found to increase overall Leadership Effectiveness by 38% and that leaders who host in regular, coaching-oriented 1:1s have 3X more engaged team members.

Coaching is a critical skill for leaders who want to develop engaged and empowered teams who can act with autonomy and resilience. Coaching leaders are more effective at working through people, building influence in stakeholder relationships and facilitating complex and challenging conversations.

Coaching mastery will also help you manage tension and conflict, host more effective 1:1s, and give and receive impactful feedback. 

Drive Growth and Revenue

Other studies have shown that companies with a high coaching culture:

  • Have significantly higher revenue five-year average growth (14% higher) than low coaching culture companies

  • Have significantly higher year-over-year revenue growth (45% higher) than low coaching culture companies

  • Are projected to experience an 18% increase in year-over-year revenue growth over time with just a 10% positive increase in coaching culture.

Navigating the Coaching Conversation

Leadership is a conversation where we have many choices that affect  how we show up and create results. Coaching leaders have a deeper toolbox full of ways to lead a conversation. Coaching mastery also means knowing when not to coach, making an intentional decision to mentor, advise or direct someone instead.

Understanding the frameworks and theory of coaching vs. other styles of leadership is important, but the best way to discover your approach to coaching in your context is through practice.
