Why Leadership training fails

Most executives in a leadership position will have attended multiple training programmes on how to become a better leader.

Have you ever considered the return on this investment? Most training programmes define a ‘right’ way to lead, failing to take sufficient account of personal strengths, motivations, and limitations. The power of coaching is that it is entirely client-centric. It starts with identifying the goal and explores what the blockers to success have been and the options to address them.

This can take some time but is usually more effective at driving real sustainable change than an approach that constrains people and ‘sells’ a model solution.
