To meet today's biggest business challenges, coaching is an essential leadership tool. Coaching is one of the most effective tools for leaders at all levels to deliver transformational business results.

Leaders are more influential when adopting the coach style. They encourage innovation and accountability, create cultural change, and develop the next generation of leaders.

Leadership coaching is a specialist skill and requires an understanding of the complex ways in which organizations interact and operate, at individual, team and group levels - and the leadership factors in play.

Powerful coaching questions 

 

  • How important is this to you? (you could use a scale 1-10) 

  • Let’s imagine a year or so into the future. What would your ideal situation be? 

  • How would someone you respect and admire deal with the same situation? 

  • What do you want your legacy to be? 

  • If you knew that what you were striving for would leave you dissatisfied, what would you do differently? 

  • If you could approach this situation with a completely fresh and clear mind, what would you do? 

  • If your colleagues and friends were to write an honest reference about you, what would they say? What would you want them to say? 

  • What would be the impact of reducing by 10% the standards you set yourself? 

  • If you knew the answer, what would it be? 

  • When will you know you have succeeded? 

  • What are your options? 

  • What one small step will you take now? 

  • What will happen (or, what is the cost) of you NOT doing this? 

  • What do you think you need to do to get a better result (or closer to your goal)? 

  • What has worked for you already? How could you do more of that? 

  • Who else might be able to help? 

  • What would you gain/lose by doing/saying that? 

  • If someone said/did that to you, what would you feel/think/do? 

  • What is the hardest/most challenging part of this for you? 

  • What else? (used at the end of most answers will evoke more – as will silence)
