Executive Coaching For Reluctant Leaders – Should Coaching Be Mandatory?

By Maynard Brusman

Reluctant Leaders

Are you working in a company or law firm where leadership requires certain people to have an executive coach? How do leaders in your company or law firm assess an individual’s motivation to engage in a productive executive coaching relationship?

One of the most powerful questions one can ask is “Does our company leadership properly assess the motivation of people recommended to participate in an executive coaching program?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent leaders are excited about further developing their leadership skills helping their organization become more successful.

A major reason for failure in executive coaching is a lack of commitment on the part of participants. Many organizations do not address this problem. Although executive coaching may sound like a great idea, many people are not open to getting feedback and executive coaching.

The organization can risk a great deal of time and money when there is little real engagement on the part of participants. There cannot be behavioral change without substantial effort.

Effort requires that the individual be motivated. Unless this issue is addressed up front, coaching is wasted. If coaching is set up as a requirement, as in the case of remedial goals, then the outcomes should be behaviorally focused rather than concentrating on mere attendance.

In another example, the individual says they are interested and motivated, but there is a lack of attendance or a lack of participation in action steps. Lack of time is frequently cited. Worse, there is a failure on the part of the executive coach to hold the person accountable.

Working with a seasoned executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help motivated leaders improve their leadership skills and helping the organization achieve success. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become happily engaged and aligned with the vision and mission of your company or law firm.
