The Leadership Superpower
All the time and investments in an individual’s training and development hinge on their ability to be COACHABLE. This NEW offering Coachability from Zenger Folkman provides a roadmap for all individuals to prepare themselves for career growth by developing the ability to be coachable.
The derailment of an individual’s career can be predicted by one question:
“Does this person seek and respond to feedback?”
For decades, organizations have focused on developing leaders without preparing them to receive feedback in ways that promote real change. Even with an extraordinary coach, nothing will change if the individual is not able to be coachable and ready to receive or implement feedback.
Zenger Folkman’s COACHABILITY principles allow everyone to avoid wasted time and investment by managing their resistance, elevating their responsibility, and establishing new habits for capturing the coachable moments that matter.
4x more likely to be rated as highly effective.
Higher ratings on critical competencies.
3x higher engagement ratings.
20% higher productivity ratings.
A coachable person values self-improvement and operates consistently in a learning zone by applying the coachability practices of seek – respond – reflect – act.
.
We are trained to effectively give feedback, not receive it. Our research confirms that individuals are generally coachable early in their careers, but receptiveness steadily declines with passing years and promotions to higher levels.
Coachability is a mindset and skillset for ALL organizational levels to avoid blind spots and loss of potential growth. If organizations desire their training and development efforts to advance rapidly, bet on coachability.
“Coachability helps one find more learning opportunities from all of life’s varied experiences. It offers a practical approach to how to lead from your learning zone. ”
“Coachability will help you evaluate how much you value self-improvement. It opened my eyes to practical ways to bring the coachability road map into my everyday work life. I walked away with a plan to capture more coachable moments and how to process those moments into action. ”
“Coachability offers a practical approach to seeking, receiving and implementing feedback to avoid career stagnation and promote professional growth. It reinforces an open, growth mindset and gave me personal insight into how I might operate more often in my learning zone. ”
