Effective Leadership Coaching Starts with the Right Culture

Coaching for leadership is about creating an environment that, through its leadership, can achieve a high level of performance. It is not about job training, skills development, or getting a new certification. It is about helping a leader be a better motivator, mentor, and change leader.

Coaching leaders isn’t about teaching a leader to do the things they already know how to do but just a bit better. It is about putting the ball in the hands of their teammates and guiding them to victory.

But many development managers struggle with what it is and how to build it into a leadership program.

"House" Training—How To Handle a Disruptive Professional

The TV show "House" appears at first glance to have nothing to do with the work of corporate trainers. But look again, and you'll see there's guidance there for you, and your company's managers.

Hugh Laurie plays one of the most captivating characters on TV—Dr. Gregory House. He's brilliant. He solves medical mysteries no one else can. He saves lives. His skills are coveted by patients, doctors, and peers—and even the government has called for him.

Oh, and by the way, most people think he's a jerk.
