Leadership Coaching: How to start the process off right.

This week I repeat a series of vlog posts from a few years ago on my interpretation and experiences on the work of Kouzes and Posner, specifically The Leadership Challenge (Wiley). I start this week by outlining how I approach my coaching process by engaging, not only the person I am going to be coaching (the coachee), but also those around them, their managers/supervisors, and their direct reports. Part of this process of engagement is to conduct either a 360-degree on-line assessment or one-on-one personal interviews. If the client wants to do the on-line assessment and there are enough people to participate, I will opt to use the LPI360 that is based on and comes from The Leadership Challenge… I invite you to watch the video to learn more about this process and how I integrate the work of Kouzes & Posner.
