Leadership Coaching and Training is distinct from Management Coaching and forms part of our Executive Coaching and Training programme.
The Leadership problem
Typically, we have found three significant factors that contribute to the leadership problem:
- leaders in most organisations and businesses are not actually leading anyone;
- they have no followers and;
- most leaders don’t even know it
We know this because we share that problem – the problem of being focussed on ourselves rather than on others (and on achieving results), is a universal human problem.
The leadership problem becomes obvious in our interactions with others. For example, when you become frustrated with your people, when you want your employees to change, or your colleagues to change, or you want the board to change.
Notice that the preferred solution in each case here is for ‘others’ to change.
A leader needs to put their energy into being effective. The leader’s power starts and ends with themselves, what they can think, what they feel, do or communicate.
Leaders first and foremost need to take responsibility for the leadership problem. The rest is just about influence; as helpful as that can be, in the ‘wanting others to change’ context, there is only one true leadership position.
Before you can expect others to change, you must first change. You must also become the kind of leader that is capable of leading that change in others.
Leadership defined
- Leadership is about influencing others through relationship
- Leadership is about inspiring others to participate
- Leadership is about unconditionally caring for and valuing others
- Leadership is about focusing on, engaging with and awakening others to own their potential
It is through others that we become leaders.
The key distinctions in leadership include:
- Pioneering a new path or direction, developing a new way of being and creating a meaningful and intentional vision for others to follow
- Collaboration in co-creating shared sets of values that support us all on a new path
- Demonstrating Integrity; being as good as your word, honest and fair minded
- Communication; capturing the hearts and minds of others with precise, engaging and compelling words and meanings
- Contribution; giving of yourself to others, serving from the organisations principles
- Being Authentic; being and behaving from your true self, without masks or personas
- Leading Congruently; applying the organisation’s principles, walking your own talk
Leadership & management distinctions
Leadership is about empowering your people to achieve the results needed for your vision to be brought into reality, so you may add significant organisational value.
Leadership is not Management. They are different.
Managing is not leading. Management is about ensuring that your people have the correct systems, processes and tools to perform. Managing is mostly about planning, implementation and measurement. Management is about managing and measuring ‘what is’. Leadership is about leading ‘what could be’.

Our leadership coaching programmes are specifically designed to help each leader unlock their own leadership potential.
