Why leadership coaching fails without context

Generic coaching plans don’t stick.

This template helps you personalize development based on where leaders are showing friction — or potential — in the eyes of their team.

Definition: Coaching opportunities are behavior patterns, communication habits, or gaps in leadership presence that emerge through real team feedback — ideal for development targeting.
