Coaching‘s fine. But you can’t coach everyone.
One of the most common comments we hear from leaders learning a coaching approach is:
“Coaching’s fine. But you can’t coach everyone. Most of my team I have to mentor them… and tell them what to do because they have no idea.”
It’s a familiar reaction.
As leaders begin shifting from a telling and directing mindset towards a coaching approach, resistance is inevitable. The question is not whether coaching works—but when coaching is the right approach and when another leadership style is more appropriate.
This distinction sits at the heart of the ICF Core Competency Demonstrates Ethical Practice. Great coaches understand not only how to coach, but also when coaching is not the right intervention.
