When I read statements like this: “According to research, the number-one reason teams fail is a lack of trust.” I can’t help but wonder what the recent restructures have done to that trust.
Another sentence in the article below got my attention: “There is no deep learning without emotional involvement.” That is ever so true and plays out in many coaching conversations.
A seasoned coach knows when the coachee is close to the crux. The hesitation, pause, shift of posture, eyes, voice etc. are early indications that we’re approaching the emotional area – and as a result, we’re getting somewhere.
Vulnerability is connected to a whole raft of tricky emotions. Being vulnerable as a leader is important, and it carried a certain amount of risk with it. What better (and safer) way than exploring this particular approach with a trusted confidant. That’s exactly how the role of a good coach plays out: partnering to help gain that additional string to the bow of an already accomplished leader.
Get in touch if you want to explore how vulnerability and through that the building of trust can work for you.
