Quick takeaways

The two-by-two framework of leadership mindsets distinguishes between striving, people-pleasing, rising, and flourishing, with flourishing leaders prioritizing value creation, supporting others, and nurturing growth.

Becoming coachable involves embracing feedback, overcoming the fear of criticism, valuing relationships, and fostering a culture of openness and continuous growth.

Effective coaching and leadership require truth-telling, willingness to be fired for speaking the truth, continuous evolution, and the creation of a flourishing ecosystem that prioritizes the success and growth of others.

Deep dives

The Four Leadership Mindsets

The podcast episode discusses a two-by-two framework of leadership mindsets. The bottom left quadrant represents striving, where individuals are focused on personal success without adding value. The bottom right quadrant represents people-pleasing, where individuals work to please others but in a transactional manner. The upper left quadrant represents rising, where individuals have achieved success by creating value but still have a me-centric approach. The upper right quadrant represents flourishing, where leaders focus on creating value, supporting others, and nurturing growth. Flourishing leaders prioritize the collective and create limitless growth opportunities.

Coaching often involves speaking a truth the other person doesn’t really want to hear. Even when we’re lost for direction, being pointed in the right way can feel like this indictment on being lost in the first place.

But a lot of clients will describe this idea of the unlock – the a-ha – when that self-doubting voice fades, and the voice of the coach comes into focus.

How can we prime ourselves to receive these messages? Our guests today have a new book out on exactly that question. Jacquelyn Lane and Scott Osman are co-authors of Becoming Coachable, along with Marshall Goldsmith. The book was borne out of the 100 Coaches agency, which Scott co-founded with Marshall.

So what does becoming coachable actually look like?
