Breaking through the behaviour barriers
holding back executives
26
Identify the behaviours that are holding the leader back from achieving key results-this assessment can be done by hiring an executive coach to implement a 360 survey, who may conduct one-on-one interviews with each of the people who work most closely with the top leader

27
Share the results with the leader and decide upon the plan of action, which would ideally be implemented during the next nine monthsInclude four to seven other peers, colleagues, bosses and direct reports as part of the coaching processGet honest feedback every 30 days and watch changes occur within all who are involved, not just the leader

Ask each of the influencers this question:“If you could master one behaviour that would make the biggest impact in your work with others inside and outside the organization, what would it be?”

Then ask them to make four commitments:1. Let go of the past with my client2. Support and encourage my client3. Be willing to give honest feedback every 30 days to my client 4. Pick a behaviour to change
