Why Coaching Isn't Working
Applied Leadership Series – For Organizations
How misdiagnosing Know vs Grow creates dependence
Arrive by 8:45 AM for coffee and networking.
Coaching often fails not because leaders don't care - but because they misdiagnose the problem.
Some situations require clarity and standards. Others require struggle and patience.
This session teaches leaders how to diagnose correctly - especially under pressure - so development accelerates instead of stalling.
What This Solves for Your Organization
Your leaders coach when they should be clear, or get directive when people need to grow. Both create dependence instead of capability.
“This session changed how I respond under pressure.”
VP Operations, Manufacturing
“I stopped rescuing my team and they started owning decisions.”
CEO, Professional Services
“Finally, leadership training that actually sticks.”
Director of HR, Financial Services
“The pause technique alone was worth the investment.”
Plant Manager, Automotive
What This Session Is
Most leaders either: coach when they should be clear, or get directive when someone is in growth mode. Both create dependence. This session installs a simple diagnosis that changes how you lead immediately.
The behavior your leaders will practice
Before responding, diagnose whether the gap is Know or Grow and respond accordingly.
This is practiced in real work between sessions. This is not a lecture.
