Leadership Lens: Coaching as the Secret to Transformational Leadership
Sri BUILD - SBUP's Initiative for Learning & Development
Enabling organizations, entrepreneurs, corporates, and professionals to equip themselves with relevant competencies.
Dear Professionals,
Imagine a workplace where every conversation ignites potential, every challenge is reframed as an opportunity, and every leader doubles as a coach. Welcome to the future of leadership.
Herminia Ibarra and Anne Scoular , in their seminal Harvard Business Review article The Leader as Coach, spotlight a transformational shift: leaders are no longer just managers—they’re becoming coaches. This change isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a seismic shift redefining how leaders engage with their teams.
Ruchira Chaudhary , in her compelling book Coaching: The Secret Code to Uncommon Leadership, unpacks the essence of coaching. She highlights five principles that are reshaping leadership:
1. Consistent coaching delivers results – Sporadic efforts don’t cut it; persistence is key.
2. Coaching must become a habit – It’s not a one-time intervention but a way of being.
3. Coaching focuses on the system, not just the goal – Leaders must address the whole ecosystem.
4. Tailored coaching works best – A cookie-cutter approach won’t suffice.
5. Coaching is about feedback – Honest, actionable feedback is the lifeblood of growth.
The numbers back it up. A global study by PwC and the Association Resource Center found that organizations experience an average ROI of seven times the cost of employing a coach. But the real magic lies in the ripple effect: empowered individuals create empowered teams.
