-: 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.
-: In many transformations, everything looks right on paper.
Where the problems show up is in actually trying
to operationalize this.
-: 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.
-: We actually work programmatically,
so oftentimes we'll work with anywhere from 10
to 50 leaders in the organization
and while working with them individually
through their own challenges, we also work collectively
with them.
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.
-: 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 client's success.
