Choosing the Right Coach

As leaders face increasing demands, selecting the right leadership coach becomes even more critical. Not every coach is the same, and finding the right person can feel like an overwhelming task. Each year, RHR coaches thousands of executives across industries around the globe. By continuously gathering feedback from executives, we have identified the core attributes of executive coaches who are in high demand. As you start your search, here are five qualities to look for in an executive coach when choosing for yourself or someone in your organization:
  1. Credibility and authenticity: Is immediately credible and can quickly gain trust and buy-in from skeptics
  2. Outcome orientation: Brings a performance mindset and is focused on tangible outcomes; fosters a growth mindset
  3. Business acumen and strategic impact: Brings business-relevant insights and connects coaching goals to key strategic imperatives
  4. Ability to connect: Builds rapport and trust; aligns with organizational culture
  5. Insight and perspective: Provides valuable insights and challenges leaders effectively
