Why coaching with context is incredibly important.

Key Takeaways

when I'm in conversation with clients and they're asking about fmg leading coming to coach a leader it's almost always focused on what that leader is either doing or not doing needs to do differently needs to sort of start doing this stop doing that and keep doing this the sort of the old frame on that and while it's valuable I would say incredibly valuable to coach a leader where that leader gets someone for six or 12 or even 18 months and they become a safe thought partner and a trusted adviser can help that leader think about her beliefs and her behavior and the outcomes that come from those kinds of leadership beliefs and behaviors that is tremendously valuable and it only goes so far because it ignores the context it ignores the system I had a um graduate Professor who used to say over and over again until we got sick of hearing him say it context is King and if you don't address the system if you don't look at the context then it's a little bit like if you were working with a band that wanted to get better and sort of go to the next level of their live performances if you just started to work with say the guitarist but you're actually not working with the way the drummer works with the basist who works with the guitarist and the vocalist ET like the whole band needs some guidance not just the guitarist and so coaching is valuable when you're sort of just coaching however it is the secret sauce to True transformation when you're coaching and when you have input and impact on the context as well
