Support matters, but coaching that never challenges identity, power or behaviour becomes a premium conversation with no organisational consequence.

The greatest obstacle to executive development is often not a leader’s weakness. It is a convincing explanation of why their existing behaviour has always been necessary.

Some executives become exceptionally good at explaining their patterns. The organisation continues living with them.

Coaching should reduce the distance between a powerful leader and reality. In weak engagements, it gives the leader better language for keeping reality away.

The most valuable coaching begins when capable leaders confront the limits their success has made difficult to see.
