Do Leaders Really Need Coaching?

• Andre Agassi On His Coach & Success– “For me it’s immeasurable how much Gil has

impacted my career, especially as I get older. Like any profession, [tennis] requires some subtle judgments that are crucial. Gil, in my opinion, is the first in the world at making those decisions.”

• “As I Get Older” –When good habits begin to hold us back,

great coaches help us get out of the ruts that come with experience.

Coaching Is An Extensive Job

• More Than A Counselor– Coaches help us assess the present so we

can excel in the future.

• More Than A Consultant– Coaches work over extended periods of time

to enhance performance in multiple areas.

• More Than A Mentor– Coaches provide proactive instructions to

ensure progress.

God’s Word on Coaching

• “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.”– Proverbs 12:15

• “Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.”– Proverbs 15:22

• “Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days. Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand.”– Proverbs 19:20-21

The King Who Almost Got It Right

• Godly Leaders invite a Coach to help.– 1 Kings 12:3-7

• Godly Leaders need a Coach to overcome blind-spots.– 1 Kings 12:8-11

• Godly Leaders need a Coach to help them be true “leaders” not “lorders.”– 1 Kings 12:12-18, 1 Peter 5:3

Coaches Help Leaders In 3 Ways…

• Observe: Spend so much time watching, that I know your observations will be valid.

• Instruct: Share your experiences, so that I know precisely what step to take next.

• Inspire: Speak consistently and persuasively about the success I could and should enjoy in the future.
