Confidential Report - Bluepoint Leadership Development
Confidential Report The Leader as Coach Inventory Coaching is one of the most critical elements for today's leaders. Helping others significantly increase their performance and accelerate their careers is universally considered an essential competency for leaders at all organizational levels. Bluepoint research has shown that the leaders who excel at coaching distinguish themselves by having great expectations for all others with whom they work and consistently demonstrate three dimensions in their interactions with others. They: 1. Earn the right to coach others by being clear on their personal values and acting in ways that are consistent with these values, exhibiting a unique blend of confidence and humility gained from a high level of awareness of their personal strengths, and managing their interpersonal needs to ensure that all coaching is done in the service of the person being coached. (Earning the Right to Coach) 2. Establish unique relationships in which others are appreciated for their very best attributes, confronted with their current situation and possibilities, and held accountable to perform at their very best. (Perfect Partnerships) 3. Engage in conversations that focus on exploring aspirations, values and the current situation, generating new possibilities and opportunities, and forging new action plans and accountabilities. (Dangerous Conversations) The Great Expectations Coaching Model The good news is that becoming a good coach is within the grasp of all leaders. It is an attitude, a perspective and a set of learnable skills that all can master, and the Leader as Coach Inventory (LCI) has been created to help you do just this. The LCI is a confidential, anonymous assessment that will tell you how others perceive you as a coach. This report details how frequently others see you engaging in practices that are directly related to coaching effectiveness. It also presents their commentary on how you have functioned in a coach-like manner and how you might better use your natural talents to become a better coach.
