Coaching around Behavioral Change among Senior Leaders

With the current scenario, change is the one constant we can all hold onto. But as a senior leader, you may not be receiving any outside advice on your leadership skills. Or you may be surrounded by ‘Yes-men’, who might not want to give you any feedback as they fear offending you. 

You may be surrounded by ‘Yes-men’

As a result, as you climb up the corporate ladder, you become more and more isolated from the constructive criticism of your team. Effective performance and strategic feedback become rare.

What are the advantages of coaching for behavioral changes for you, as a senior leader? 

The culture of a company solely rests on the ability of the senior leaders to live the values and model the behaviors the organization wants you to emulate. Any implementation of behaviors, starts with the you, the senior leader.

More often than not, you might be oblivious to how you act and behave.

Let’s take an example of Anita, a senior manager at a marketing firm. Within her organization, she is seen as an emerging leader and considered to have the full potential to drive the organization towards its goals while developing the culture based on the organizations’ values.

But within her team, the general opinion is that she needs to be less confrontational and more accommodating and approachable, as a leader. But she does not know this. She is unaware that this behavior is holding her back from the promotion, she so deserves. This makes her angry and resentful. 

How can she cope with it? 

An effective coach can be the solution. She will then be privy to objective analysis of her style of leadership and work on bettering it. #Executivecoaching is the most effective way to guide senior leaders in changing behavior to improve their organizational performance.

According to Dr. #MarshallGoldsmith, here are the three things behavior changes require:

• Humility - ·      This is the first step. You need to accept that you need help.

Like in the case of Anita, she needs to first acknowledge and accept that there is something wrong in the way she conducts herself. Hence, her promotion is still pending.  

• Courage - It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. 

Once Anita has accepts that something is wrong, she can actively seek help in the form of executive coaching. 

• Discipline - Change is simple but never easy and it takes a lot of effort and time. 

Lastly, as with anything, she will need to put in the work and effort to modify that behavior to be seen as accommodating and approachable by her team. 

Once, Anita starts working on this aspect, she could do these additionally to expedite the process:
