Leadership Coaching
The Leadership Superpower
All the time and investments in an individual’s training and development hinge on their ability to be COACHABLE. Our NEW offering, Coachability, provides a roadmap for all individuals to prepare themselves for career growth by developing the ability to be coachable.
Why Coachability
The derailment of an individual’s career can be predicted by one question:
“Does this person seek and respond to feedback?”
For decades, organizations have focused on developing leaders without preparing them to receive feedback in ways that promote real change. Even with an extraordinary coach, nothing will change if the individual is not coachable and ready to receive or implement feedback.
Zenger Folkman’s COACHABILITY principles allow everyone to avoid wasted time and investment by managing their resistance, elevating their responsibility, and establishing new habits for capturing the coachable moments that matter.
What changes when leaders become coachable.
4x more likely to be rated as highly effective.
Higher ratings on critical competencies.
20% higher productivity ratings.
3x higher engagement ratings.
The Definition
A coachable person values self-improvement and operates consistently in a learning zone by applying the coachability practices of seek – respond – reflect – act.
1
Regularly seek feedback from others on how to improve.
2
Be open to the message, understand it, and show appreciation.
3
Analyze if the feedback has merit and how it can be used to grow.
4
Start with a mindset of experimentation and achievement in small steps.
We are trained to effectively give feedback, not receive it. Our research confirms that individuals are generally coachable early in their careers, but receptiveness steadily declines with passing years and promotions to higher levels.
Coachability is a mindset and skillset for individuals at ALL organizational levels to avoid blind spots and loss of potential growth. If organizations desire their training and development efforts to have a rapid, positive impact, bet on coachability.
