What's New:

I finished an executive coaching engagement with a client today. He is new in his position, and our work focused on the transition into his new leadership role, in particular his managerial effectiveness.

As we wrapped up today, I asked him if there was anything more he wanted to discuss. He responded that all he wanted was leadership support, open communication and feedback from his senior leaders.

Given the workload and demands placed on everyone today, we expect our new leaders to “get it quickly” and step into their roles with the managerial savvy that comes with seasoning. Experienced leaders sometimes need a not-so-gentle reminder of the importance of mentoring new leaders.
