Leadership Capacity


Coaching reinforces healthier workplace culture, accelerates positive change.
 Through Wisdom Works' Transformational Coaching Program, a large hospital system integrated professional coaching into their organization. Following the program, hospital leaders had clearly benefited:
  • 100% "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that they learned skills to enhance their performance in life and work.
  • 91% "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that they were better equipped to leverage their core strengths in their jobs, and were more inspired and motivated at work.
  • 100% "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that they were more productive at work and more effective as leaders due to the coaching support. [source: Wisdom Works1]

Leaders' impact may reach all-time high in 2009.
 This study, based on the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index which tracked more than 360,000 Americans daily, indicates a high correlation between leaders who engender hope and stability and a resilient workforce. As the report's author concludes: "Having a good job in America will continue to be one of the most important well-being determinants in 2009. This year, leaders may have more impact on the well-being of citizens than in any year in recent history... Our research in 2008 has shown that workers in high quality work environments, while not immune to the effects of the economy, are cushioned from the substantial declines in well-being that have been observed in the general populace."

Ability to create shared vision distinguishes leaders.
 "Being forward-looking--envisioning exciting possibilities and enlisting others in a shared view of the future--is the attribute that most distinguishes leaders from nonleaders. We know this because we asked followers. In an ongoing project surveying tens of thousands of working people around the world, we asked, 'What do you look for and admire in a leader'..."
