Are you working in a company or law firm where leaders are engaged in an executive coaching relationship? How open are leaders in your company or law firm to in the moment feedback?
One of the most powerful questions one can ask is “Does our company leadership encourage participants in an executive coaching program to receive regular feedback?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent leaders are excited about further developing their leadership skills by being open to being observed in action by his or her coach.
Moving into Action
Observation by the coach of the executive in action is another opportunity. This provides a clearer picture of the complexities of organizational and personality dynamics. Being able to give the executive real-time feedback is a valuable tool when done properly.
There are other key opportunities to provide feedback to an executive, providing the coach is acutely aware of the intricacies of communications. It requires the coach to give feedback to him or her regarding what goes on in the moment. The dynamics that occur between coach and executive often mirror those that go on with others in the work group. It is this finely tuned ability of the executive coach to observe and to feed back information to the leader that can make for a powerful coaching experience.
Working with a seasoned executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help you become a leader who links personal and business goals. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become happily engaged and aligned with the vision and mission of your company or law firm.
