See yourself more clearly. This sounds simple but is actually very important. Research has shown that most of us don't see ourselves very clearly and that it matters: accurate self-awareness in leaders is highly correlated with organisational effectiveness and profitability, and employees prefer to follow leaders who see themselves clearly (and are willing to share their perceptions). We will generally gather input about how others see you at the beginning of the engagement and share it with you. We will also pattern the feedback into key themes, to further clarify others' perceptions of your key strengths and growth areas. Throughout the coaching engagement, we will also share perceptions of you, based on observation of you and your interactions with others. Most importantly, we will help you build skills to see yourself more clearly: to question your assumptions about yourself, get curious about where you're strong and where you need to grow, and learn to see yourself with "fair witness" eyes.2. See others more clearly. Over the years, we've often seen leaders run into problems because of their inaccurate assessments of those around them. They may lose good employees because they don't recognize and support their capabilities, or keep poor performers too long because they think they're better than they are. They may stumble politically because they over-or underestimate someone's ability to have an impact on their career success. As good and insightful coaches we have more neutral and accurate perceptions of those around you than you do. We will share those perceptions with you. And — because skilled coaches work to make their coaching clients independent — we will also help you apply the same mental skills you learned for seeing yourself more clearly so that you can become more accurate in your assessment of others.3. Learn new ways to respond. Marshall Goldsmith, perhaps the best-known executive coach in the U.S., wrote a book called What Got You Here Won't Get You There. It's a wonderful title because the idea is so true. We all have a set of capabilities and responses that may serve us well as mid-level employees but won't help us as senior leaders.
