3 Benefits Gained from Leadership Coaching

“The leader who is forever in the learning mode is the one most likely to succeed.” – Lee Thayer

You’ve made it to the top! 

But wait…there’s another summit and it’s higher.  Welcome to leadership, my friend.

Leadership is all about continued learning and experience. 

Now that you are leading, it’s critical for your own success that you reach your own next level in order to bring your team up with you. 

The best leaders never rest on their laurels.  They continue learning, growing and stretching. 

In a past article, we’ve discussed how “change leadership” can transform your business. Now let’s examine the benefits of Leadership Coaching! 

What is Leadership Coaching?

Leadership Coaching is a developmental strategy that helps leaders gain confidence in their abilities, understand how to effect change, and handle everyday challenges and situations.  Leadership Coaching also allows leaders at all levels to find their strengths and help them build upon them to be influential leaders in their own way! 

According to research, it is shown that those companies who invest in leadership training see a 25% improvement in their learning capacity and a 20% increase and improvement in their performance! 

Leadership Coaching doesn’t just teach leaders for a day; it gives them the tools and resources they need to be great leaders for the long haul.  Let’s dive into just a few of the benefits of having your executives work with a great coach.

Benefit #1: Gained Confidence

Even top leaders can have confidence issues.  

I’ve seen it. 

Sometimes fear of making the wrong decision, worry about not “looking like a leader” or any number of mental roadblocks can stifle natural leadership abilities.  Leaders secretly overthink and over worry about their effectiveness to lead.  They start to get into their own heads.  

All of that can make you second guess yourself.  Sometimes, confidence issues have even deeper roots.  Leadership Coaching is all about digging into doubt, developing your own leadership style and empowering you to lead with confidence.  

Leadership starts with the leader.  During my work with executive teams, I focus on:

– Self-Awareness

– Resilience

– Decisiveness

– How to Manage Conflict

– Accountability

All of these emphasize building confidence and learning how to further emphasize or bring out natural leadership tendencies. We also work on weaknesses and make those stronger. 

Benefit 2: Team Building

Effective leaders don’t just lead their team; they excel at team building. When you can help your team thrive and build off their strengths, you genuinely guide them to success.  It takes passion, patience, and perseverance to help each member of the team develop and flourish.  

New leaders especially struggle with the transition of being someone whose success depends on now developing others.  Leadership coaching shows you how to become a better coach yourself!

Benefit 3: Adapting to Change

Changes can be as small as rearranging a workspace or seismic, like adapting to a pandemic. 

Whatever may come your way, it is your job to lead your team with grace and patience.  Change is hard for everyone, and your ability to deal with change is a significant part of your leadership position.  

During leadership training, you’ll learn valuable skills to help ease your team through the transition and continue to produce high-quality work every day.  You may need to adjust a few things around and adapt, but trying to keep everything balanced while this adjustment takes place is crucial. 

Whether you are leading  your team through management and policy changes, structural changes, or a completely redeveloped organizational style – leadership coaching prepares you to lead yourself and your team through change or even crisis.
