-: The days of having the perfect plan no longer exist.
-: In any kind of business strategy
you've got "What do you want to change?"
And then you've got, "How do you want to do it?"
-: Transformation's hard today for a couple of reasons.
One, the world is quite complex
and the speed is faster than ever.
As a leader, you're in the midst
of this wonderful eye of the hurricane,
where it's changing
and you're taking in new information all the time.
Whether it's AI or sustainability,
different things are happening around you
that you've got to be taking into account as a leader,
and one of the hardest things
is to take all your great plans off of paper
and start bringing them into the real world.
-: Imagine you've just hired a huge team of consultants
to transform your business.
Well, what's the number one thing
that gets in the way of that transformation?
Leader behavior.
-: Because leadership is not easy.
Executive coaching
is about thinking about that inner journey,
but it is also the opportunity
to step back and think more broadly,
to be able to set the goal for where do we need to go,
and therefore, within all of these challenges,
how do we prioritize?
-: Being a leader
is not about answering every question there is.
It is about enabling the team to find the right answer.
-: Understanding how your leadership style
needs to evolve or shift in that context
is really important.
-: If you add to that,
having a cohort of coaches leading a cohort of leaders,
then the organizational impact is massive.
-: The coaches work as a team.
-: The first thing that when you do group coaching
is organizational effectiveness.
-: Leadership team effectiveness is really important
because individuals will come to the table
as independent thinkers,
but they need to leave the table as one team.
-: Our coaching is situational and it's also programmatic.
It is done with very clear objectives.
-: A transformation coach at BCG is really different
because we've walked in the shoes before.
We know what executives and leaders and companies
are dealing with on the ground every day.
-: I think it's a very firm statement about our BCG brand,
which is our commitment to our clients' success.
