Every leader has a number of issues to deal with and, sometimes, struggle with.
This does not make someone a “bad” leader … if a leader doesn’t have issues to handle at least sometimes, they are probably no longer needed and can move on.
The key question: is working an issue on your own the possible or best way to resolve it?
If on your own works, fine. Don’t be “guilted” into having a coach for everything by all the coach marketing you see, or have a coach just for appearances (unless needed for political reasons :-).
For those issues that are better addressed with independent perspective or require help getting past a stubborn roadblock, find a coach.
Group roundtables/masterminds can work too, if there is enough trust. Groups also typically work best when paired with 1-1 coaching in addition to group sessions.
If you want to find out more about coaching or a group approach, contact me to discuss your situation. We don’t require year-long or longer commitments … just enough time initially to help you work through your current issue(s). You can decide to continue after that if you wish.
P.S. Coaches can especially help with personal “head trash” and self-inflicted roadblocks in addition to organizational issues.
