Mating the Two Goals
The question of which coach to hire and why lead the group to a core issue. How do you mate the two goals – that of the CEO and of the coach – in a way that both benefit? By the time we broke up, a consensus had developed. First, the CEO has to understand clearly what they want from a coach. (we allowed that that understanding might evolve during the coaching) Second, the coach had to have successfully traveled the road that the CEO is set upon. No academics, no experts by osmosis – pure, raw, successful experience. Third, the range of contacts and access to resources that the coach brings to the engagement is nearly as important as their experiences. And finally, a coach should be a mentor as well as an advisor. A good coaching relationship is inherently personal.
