Coach-ability
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.
The Foundational Skill for ALL Development
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.
The Coachability Roadmap
Great Leaders Coach and are COACHABLE
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.
