COACHING-

THE NEW LEADERSHIP

 

 

At the end of the 20th century and now into the 21st century, a brand new
leadership has been developing.  Actually, it has been in the works for
thousands of years, but usually the voices calling for it were faint and
easily ignored.  Why?  Because over the centuries, the idea of leadership
was entirely dominated by the idea of "the leader is the strong man."  This
understanding of leadership grew out of the times when human culture was
primitive and when "might made right."  In those times the rule of the
jungle was also the rule of human affairs and human government.  The person
in charge was the person who was the strongest, and at first, this was
strictly physical and as groups gathered, it was the strongest in the sense
of who was the most ruthless, who could and would use fear, threat, and
might to get his way.  That's when the military idea of leadership
prevailed- that's when leadership was bossing, ordering, commanding,
controlling.

 

But the times they have been changing.  Command-and-control management and
leadership has been giving way to an entirely new way to think about leading
and leadership.  It began when it became obvious that while a forceful,
controlling "leader" might get compliance of behavior, command-and-control
methods can never truly win the minds of people, let alone the hearts, and
even less so their spirits.  To move beyond winning compliance with control
and threats to winning the hearts and minds of people, then to winning their
allegiance, and finally to winning their loyalty requires a lot more.  It
requires an entirely new and different paradigm.  In Neuro-Semantics, we
call that new paradigm: Self-Actualization.

 

This new way of leading requires using a force that goes beyond fear and
threat.  It requires being the kind of person that people pay attention to,
learn from, understand, feel connected to, believe in what he or she
presents, wants to be a part of something bigger than themselves.  This kind
of leader calls forth the best in people, inspire them, taps into their
human capital of intelligence and creativity, treats them as colleagues,
relates to them as equals, as colleagues, and creates a winning team with
them.  This is the self-actualizing leader.

 

Now, where do you learn these kinds of skills?  The amazing and surprising
answer is in the core coaching skills.  That is, today and into the coming
centuries, the great leaders will be those who lead people by enabling them
and doing that through what today we know are the core competencies of
coaching.  This is Coaching Leadership.

 

That explains one of the central reasons why you find lots of leaders
attending the Meta-Coach Trainings.  They know that they will lead best when
they are skilled at connecting with people, actively and deeply listening
and supporting people, and when they can explore with people for n their
ideas and contributions.  They know that they will lead best when they are
competent in receiving and giving high quality feedback, when they can frame
situations, induce people to feel, inspire, awaken, align, collaborate, etc.
The surprise is that these are the skills of coaching.

 

The powerful flexibility of these skills is that you can use them one person
at a time as you influence people or with a group and transform a collection
of individuals into a high performance team.  This also reveals something
else about leadership- leadership occurs at all levels and dimensions of
human experience.  Not merely at the top; but all the way up the levels and
in every domain.  And if there's anything that's really missing today it is
good leadership.  It is healthy, self-actualizing leadership that brings out
the best in people.

 

So if you want to improve, enhance, and empower your leadership skills, a
great beginning place is with the core coaching skills.  Start there.
Experience coaching and how it can create clarity and decisiveness for you
as you identify and unleash more of your leadership potentials.  Then you'll
be in a great place to begin to groom leaders around you.  Because, as
Warren Bennis noted many times, the purpose of leadership is not to create
followers, it is to create more leaders and the next generation leaders.

 

This is one of reasons we regularly have business owners, senior managers,
and CEOs at Coaching Mastery.  Are they planning to become coaches?  No, of
course not.  They are there to become better leaders and they will become
more excellent as leaders by the coaching process and methodology.   And if
you are ready to unleash your core leadership competencies, I'd recommend
learning the coaching skills as the fundamentals of effective leadership.
