Leadership coaching typically possesses several flaws. The assumption is if you pinpoint the critical leadership behaviors that are requiring work then you focus on those, whether it be to further strengthen or develop them. What is missed is the "core" of what lies behind the behaviors... what is the driving force that brings those desired behaviors out and converts them into sustainable practices. Executive coaches typically focus on the surface behavior and not the underlying driving force behind it. Deal with the core and the surface behaviors often magically disappear instantly.

The other fatal flaw in traditional executive coaching is that clear, targeted development plans are rarely created and monitored. Thus, coaching becomes a thing your organization "asks you to do" rather than a powerful means to develop, drive, enhance, measure and track desired change and impact. Both you and your organization should clearly understand the desired expectations for change and accurately measure results over the course of the program.

At Level4 we understand that behind every leader's behavior and practice there is are underlying motivations... we focus first on the motivation, then we develop and measure a solid plan to unlock their full potential. We work with both the targeted leader and his manager to ensure that core motivations are addressed, behaviors changed, and new practices are developed and sustained.
