Equipping Leaders: Observations From Three Coaching Relationships   

By Shelley Cochrane, Principal

Shelley Cochrane

 

I have had the distinct privilege of coaching three ministry leaders in recent months: two men and one woman, all forty-something, all in new leadership roles in their organization. Two of the organizations are large and structured; one is a new start-up. The two men are seasoned leaders who are changing fields; the woman has not previously served in a leadership role.

 

At the onset of the relationship we identified the content to be covered in our conversations along with timeframes and deliverables to measure the results. What I did not account for, however, is how enriched I would be from sharing their experience along the way.

 

Observation #1

Two of the ministries share their new leaders with another organization. These leaders divide their time between two job descriptions and supervisors and two organizational structures and cultures. Costs are shared. Everyone is satisfied with the arrangements.
