Q: When does leadership coaching work? A: In my work as an executive coach, I only get paid if my clients achieve a positive, lasting change in behavior - not as judged by themselves, but as determined by their key stakeholders. This has made me think a lot about when coaching works - and when it doesn't.

I also like Hamel and Prahalad three-question test for helping clients determine if one of their capabilities is actually a core competency : Does the capability make a disproportionate contribution to the ultimate customer value, and/or does it allow the company to deliver value to customers in an appreciably more efficient way?

In my job as an executive coach, I have spent a lot of time with leaders who are dealing with retirement. In 2009 Marshall's friend the late CK Prahalad was ranked #1 and Marshall was ranked #14. Favre having a successful retirement. While some make the transition pretty well, for many it is a disaster. Life is good.
