The value of good, timely coaching is immense, leaving a positive impact on you as an individual, your team and your organisation. While many leaders have some experience of coaching, much – if not most – only achieves part of what it could. Reasons are varied, but include the client not knowing what good coaching looks and feel like; unclear objectives; the ‘wrong’ kind of coach, or wrong level of experience; unrealistic expectations; personality clash or cultural mismatch. This short guide aims to equip you, the leader, with the insight to select the right coach for yourself, to know when to move on, and to maximise the value you get from your coaching sessions.
