  • By salomons.coach
  • In Blog, Closing leadership capability gaps

Over the past decade, Harvard Business Review has shown that coaching is not about fixing people—it's about helping leaders rise. HBR highlights coaching as a collaborative partnership that strengthens self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate complexity. From executive development to performance and long-term growth, the research is clear: coaching improves leadership behavior, deepens team trust, and creates healthier, more resilient organizations. At its core, effective coaching is built on listening, reflective questioning, aligned goals, and honest accountability—exactly the foundations of modern leadership in a VUCA world.

leadership development vs coaching
Effectiveness of Coaching vs Leadership Development Programs. Organizations invest heavily in leadership development, spending up to 5% of annual revenue on training programs, yet only 11% of executives report these initiatives meet expectations. Research shows leadership training can boost job performance by 20%, but challenges remain in achieving sustained results. Leadership coaching, on the other hand, offers a personalized approach, boasting a 96% satisfaction rate and an ROI six times its cost. It excels in fostering behavioral changes and leadership effectiveness. Combining these approaches integrates cost-efficient group learning with high-ROI individual coaching, yielding powerful results. Let’s explore how this can work for your organization.

How I keep my coaching focused

  • By salomons.coach
  • In Blog, Closing leadership capability gaps
Setting boundaries in coaching is essential for maintaining focus and ensuring progress. When clients consistently expand the coaching scope, it often stems from underlying emotions such as uncertainty or anxiety. To manage this, I set clear goals and revisit them regularly, framing the importance of staying aligned for effective results. If new topics arise, I acknowledge them while steering the conversation back to agreed priorities. Offering additional sessions or structured scope expansion options provides flexibility without losing sight of original objectives. This balance ensures productive and results-oriented coaching sessions while respecting the client's evolving needs. I always try to keep my coaching razor focused!
