This is a book for anyone who is looking to implement coaching as part of their own leadership style or to introduce it across their organisation.
One of the key messages of this book is that coaching as a leader isn’t as easy as just finding a coaching model to work with and using it. There’s a lot more to it than that.
Choosing to adopt a coaching approach is exactly that — a choice. In the busy world you operate in, team members come to you, peers engage with you, and stakeholders interact with you. In these situations, it’s highly likely that your brain goes into default mode and you adopt your natural approach as problem-solver, adviser, director, instructor, teacher, etc. Only later will you likely think, ‘Damn! That would have been a great opportunity to coach!’
This book is about the habits that good leader– coaches adopt and how to approach the challenging situations that you find yourself in on the way to becoming a leader–coach. To get better, you need to choose to coach. The only way to do that is to hold back on your natural approach and shift to another gear. For that to happen, you need to pause. Pause and ask yourself, ‘Is this a coaching opportunity?’
Coaching as a leader is more than a model. Once you have a model, everything else starts with a pause.
