An executive steps into a broader role but struggles to find their footing. A capable leader cannot gain support for a change everyone agreed was necessary. A high-performing team meets its targets while friction among its leaders grows.
It’s tempting to call these skill gaps. Sometimes they are. Other times, the leader’s effectiveness depends on understanding expectations, relationships, and the demands of a role that has changed.
Organizations seek coaching for transitions, influence, executive presence, delegation, or leading through change. But a goal such as “be more strategic” can mean very different things to a leader, their manager, and their colleagues.
I work with HR and business sponsors to clarify the desired difference in the leader’s work—not merely agree on a development label.
We establish a focused set of development goals and a practical way to recognize progress. Coaching then stays close to the leader’s actual work: preparing for consequential conversations, testing new approaches, and putting insights into practice.
In sponsored engagements, we clarify the respective roles of the organization, leader, and coach, including what information will and will not be shared. Trust and organizational alignment both matter.
Coaching focus areas have included building trusted board relationships, consequential talent decisions, and executive presence.
Coaching focus areas have included board interactions, influence across a matrix organization, and acquisition integration.
Hogan assessments can provide an additional perspective on how a leader is likely to be experienced by others. When useful, an assessment and debrief can inform development goals or deepen an engagement already underway.
Whether you’re considering coaching for one executive or a broader leadership-development effort, I’d welcome a conversation about what your organization is trying to accomplish.
