Leadership coaching is a process of building best leader capabilities to achieve some long-term organizational goals. This process is completely personalized and customized, it's usually conducted with a unique business purpose in mind. Leadership coaching usually focuses on leader's performance enhancement.

Today over 60% of CEO’s in different businesses hire their own leadership coaches. If formal education and training equips leaders to handle more technical requirements of their role, than personal relationship skills development is addressed by a one-on-one coaching relationship.

Relationships between a businessman and his coach

Usually coaching is a partnership relationship. Rather than the coach is “the expert” and provides the best answers for the client. The client is the expert in the organization, but his coach helps him to become even more professional!

Methods of leadership coaching

There are a lot of ways of leadership assessment that can be helpful in for any coach. Here are just some of them:

1. Getting data from anonymous surveys can be useful for identifying behaviors that can affect on business outcomes.

2. Active listening. Remember, that a coach doesn't solve the client’s problem, but he finds the problem and guides his client how to solve the issue.

3. Helps the client to set priorities in his business and sometimes even in his personal life.

4. Leads his client to leave his comfort zone and find new options.

5. Assisting with the goal setting and action planning.

6. Recommends specific books and other sources of learning.

These are the most important things you should consider before you will hire a coach for you. Just remember that nobody will never resolve your problems, you are the key. Your coach just shows you the best way you can achieve your goals.
