Executive Brief

The COACH2 CoachSystemä

"Any company that aspires to succeed in the tougher business climate of the 1990’s must first resolve a basic dilemma: success in the marketplace increasingly depends on learning, yet most people don’t know how to learn...

First, most people define learning too narrowly as mere "problem solving," so they focus on identifying and correcting errors in the external environment. Solving problems is important. But if learning is to persist, managers and employees must also look inward. They need to reflect critically on their own behavior, identify the ways they often inadvertently contribute to the organization’s problems, and then change how they act."

Chris Argyris, Teaching Smart People to Learn,

HBR, May-June 1991

Every leader of any team or organization dreams of creating a purposeful, highly competent organization of self-directed team members who on a regular basis, achieves extraordinary results.

Yet, how many managers, leaders and professional coaches possess a clear—adaptive—proven roadmap for designing and integrating leadership, management and coaching systems into their lives and organizations?

Unfortunately, most people in leadership roles believe that setting ambitious goals and providing regular corrective feedback will create the results they need in a competitive marketspace. In general, research and experience prove that this is NOT enough.
