Are you a coachable leader?

In this episode, Bill shares a story about the importance of being coachable and how leadership behavior impacts team dynamics.

He recounts a workshop experience with a CEO whose habits were affecting his team's engagement and accountability. A leader must lead by example and if the team's leader can't be coached, what message does that give to the team?

Bill emphasizes that true change starts with self-reflection and personal accountability, urging leaders to look in the mirror to foster a more effective and proactive workplace culture.

Keep scaling.

PhD Research on CEOs

Quick favor: I'm in the middle of my doctoral research, and I need CEOs Here's the question: is there a point where working more hours actually indicates a worse leader? Nobody has measured it. I'm measuring it. If you're a CEO or president with at least ten people in the business and three direct reports, it takes just a few minutes. And Your team answers a few anonymous questions. What you get back is a report comparing how you rate yourself to how your team rates you. That gap is usually the interesting part. ScalingCoach.com/study
