Out-dated leadership
However, the countervailing forces inside most organizations against real change are still strong, especially those rooted in short-term financial imperatives, vested economic and power interests, and the persistence of obsolete ideologies. How firms manage and develop their people, their human resource management policies and practices is of increasing importance, tension and conflict. How these conflicting pressures affect the introduction of the behavioral-based coaching approach that can deliver certainty and long-term success into any organizations is of vital concern to all.

Leadership Coaching / Development

-Today many leaders who hold organizational power and those close to the center of power tend to react ambivalently to the 21st century coaching movement that they may also support financially. This is explained by the fact that these senior leaders were trained using now out-dated leadership models that encouraged an individualistic, lone leader mindset and, subscribed to the popular belief that human beings are naturally egoistic and competitive. This individualistic mindset is still present in our collective organizational thinking and especially in that of many individuals presently holding positions of organizational power. HR, OD and L & D professionals and Coaches face this fundamental challenge of overcoming the ambivalence of those holding the power.

Many vital behavior / psychological-based assessment instruments and tools a leadership coach requires are only available to coaches trained and mentored by a facilitator who is also a licensed clinical psychologist. The Behavioral Coaching Institute's fast-tracked Certified Master Coach Course meets the critical needs for H.R., L & D and other professionals engaged in leadership development to be trained and mentored in the use of validated, reliable psychology-based global leadership models, templates, tools and techniques.
