Should I use a leadership coach?
- Do my evaluations reflect comments about improvements I need in my leadership style (e.g., communications, relationships, decision-making, accountability, etc.)?
- Am I stuck in my position? Have others been promoted around me or faster than me?
- Am I a high-potential performer whose growth has slowed down?
- Have other leaders around me benefited from coaching?
- Have I just started my “next big job” and things don’t seem to be going quite right?
- Could I benefit from having someone work with me to set and achieve my goals?
- Has my boss given me any signals that I should change my behavior (e.g., like “ get along with so and so better” or “make decisions quicker” or “get angry once in awhile”)?
- Could I benefit from talking regularly to someone outside the company who is an independent sounding board?
- Am I bored in my present leadership role?
Should I recommend that someone who works for me use a leadership coach?
- As a leader, do I find myself making the same comments, year in and year out, about the interpersonal behaviors one of my subordinates in his or her annual review?
- Do I have a subordinate who could benefit from coaching or mentoring, but I just don’t have the time to do this on a recurring basis?
- As a leader, do I have a potential high performer who has a leadership deficiency that could hold them back from the next level?
- As a leader, have I recently brought in a new hire who doesn’t seem to “get it” and is off on the wrong foot?
