Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube discussion about leadership and coaching. Speaker A presents a simple coaching framework (three questions: Where are we now? Where are we going? What’s the next step?) and gives an example of rating an employee (Chris) and setting a target level; Speaker B emphasizes the importance of measurement (“what’s measured matters”).
There's three questions that you need to know how to answer as a leader. Where are we now? Where are we going? And what's the next step? And I apply that into coaching my CEOs when they're talking about somebody. Okay, where is Chris now? He's a six. We want to take him to an eight. So what needs to change? What's the next step then? That's what you and Chris need to talk about.
I love that, and I love what you were saying. And I always like to say what's measured matters.
