Coach-Leaders are leaders who practise the skills of professional coaches for substantive impact — from one meeting to the next. For productivity, wellbeing, accountability, ownership, commitment, and growth.
Coaching Cultures exist in organisations where a minimum of 60% of leaders, at all levels and across all functions, demonstrate and model observable coach-leadership skills in 1-to-1 and team meetings, including under pressure. People processes reinforce coach-leader skills. Adoption is frictionless and rewarded.
