Leaders and Their Teams"I focus leaders on themselves rather than on their followers, and on the nature of their presence rather than on their technique and 'know-how.'" Edwin Friedman "If done well, coaching can elevate the productivity and performance of every individual in the organization. And there is a significant correlation between having a strong coaching culture and market performance."
Creating a Coaching Culture, Institute for Corporate Productivity "In any situation, the person who can most accurately describe reality without laying blame will emerge as the leader, whether designated or not." Edwin Friedman |

You know how a great driver in a great car shifts smoothly through the gears--hitting the right one for the right conditions at the right moment? That's how we see the Arena in which great leaders operate every day--in brief conversations, in meetings with individuals, groups and teams and in full coaching sessions.
Most leaders have a quadrant that is their "default" gear. Then, as they find their coaching gear (that "northeast" quadrant), they tend to become better drivers overall. And that surrounding blue circle? Think of that as the calm and authoritative presence of a great coaching leader. It's foundational to whatever "gear" he or she selects in the Coaching Leader’s Arena. The orange circle is trickier. It represents your organization's culture. And it might have a default like you do. Is it willing to learn too? |
