Top Reasons For Hiring A Leadership Strategist And Coach

By Jose Davis


Management, as everyone knows, is all about planning, organizing and controlling the scarce resources available to achieve certain goals. The resources are not just the material assets or money, the biggest challenge these days is managing an organization's human resource effectively. The job switching rates over the past few years has increased dramatically, and this has compelled HR professionals to think about leadership development and succession planning. Leadership strategist and coach are particularly important in the current dynamic business.

What is the difference between a manager and a leader? Managers focus on workflow, performance evaluations, measured results, problem-solving, meeting planning, decision making, training, hiring, dismissing, efficiencies, reporting, resource procurement, organization, and similar issues. Leaders are about motivation, inspiration, coaching, and resource sharing. They are principled, visionary, information gatherers, forecasters, communicators, and strategists.

You may be telling yourself that you can't - start the business, grow the business, handle the business, or remember why you even got into the business. Your coach knows that you can; make the cold call, write the marketing plan, understand a balance sheet, fire the bookkeeper, and do whatever else you need to be successful. Coaching works by helping you to:

Become more resourceful. Indecisiveness, procrastination, over-busyness, and lack of motivation are usually symptoms of fear, negative assumptions, and lack of resources. Coaching reveals your strengths and provides tools for working around obstacles, so they won't keep you stuck.

What did organizational guru Edward Deming mean when he said that leaders should work on systems, not in systems? Leaders add the most value when they are working on improving the team and not just doing day-to-day work, handling crises, solving all the problems, and managing relationships.

Besides, the coaching prepares employees for future leadership roles. One of the best outcomes of this strategy is the grooming of regular employees for future leadership roles. In the long-term, it is going to yield organizational leaders that are loyal, skilled, know the organization and the industry well. These empowered employees will strive for profits and inspire upcoming employees efficiently.

When it comes to leadership, what does it mean to "get the big picture"? To "get the big picture" suggests that one is observing from the outside rather than being caught up in the bustle of the team. The coach does not tell you what you should do or how you should solve your issues. The strategist only helps you have a clear picture of specific goals and create an effective plan on deliberating the same.

As an employer, you will be able to sustain a track record of employees. External employees reveal little information on their development needs and weak areas, whatever the employer knows is through their evaluation during the interview or assessment test. On the other hand, employees that come forward from the company's divisions have everything open in front of the employer and can be evaluated very thoroughly on each little aspect of management.
