Top Reasons For Hiring A Leadership Strategist And Coach

By Jose Davis


How many times have you promised yourself that tomorrow you'd upgrade the computer system, hire some help, or formalize your marketing plan and only to find that tomorrow was six weeks ago? Maybe you get all fired up about a new business idea, only to be frustrated by a thousand interruptions that prevent you from doing anything about it. Or, perhaps you berate yourself for being disorganized, lazy, or unfocused when you're not taking action because you're afraid of where the next account will come from, or to commit the dollars to hire the help you desperately need. If you identify with any of the above scenarios, you'll definitely benefit from a leadership strategist and coach.

One of these newer ideas is the implementation of succession planning within the organization. This concept has brought many benefits to organizations including the higher retention rate of human capital and reduction in recruitment and compensation costs. This strategy utilizes the basic principle of management, i. E. Choose a proactive approach rather than reactive.

The biggest challenge organizations face when they decide to implement succession planning is the lack of resources and expertise within the company. Organizations that are in the introductory phase should go for hiring consultants and coaches from outside. External assistance in this regard will have professionals and qualified individuals plus the resources of the organization that will not be wasted on experimentation and training HR managers.

What are the roles of an effective leader? Given the situation, good leaders perform a variety of roles. They can be tradesman, managers, designers, visionaries, and coaches. When a team is led well, the tradesman and manager roles are played by team members. In fact, good leadership is the ability to leave the technical work and the management of it exclusively to the team and develop skills that allow everyone to grow.

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.

What is the greatest value leaders can add? Leaders and strategist help to focus more on the team than on the work. They are also engaged in making other people successful. They will help you be more resourceful through motivation, improving your self-esteem and providing tools necessary for working around obstacles.

Get objective feedback and improve your confidence. A good coach mirrors your world view so that you can see the limiting beliefs and unproductive behaviors that are hindering your business growth. Once you're aware of your self-defeating patterns, you can change them for good. Once you begin taking action, you obtain results and consequently grow your confidence. Almost magically, the bar for what you want and can achieve moves higher.

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.
