Marshall Goldsmith's Stakeholder Centered Coaching Cycle
- Stakeholder Centered Coaching (SCC): A discipled process where a Business Leader chooses a development goal and relevant Stakeholders, who are recruited and used to help the leader and their business entity achieve a positive long-term change that is recognized and acknowledged by others.
- Systems Approach: SCC uses a systemic process to help a Business Leader achieve a positive long-term change targeted at business growth and competitiveness enhancement. This is accomplished by bringing stakeholders into the process. It is the Leader’s co-founders, various business partners, executive team members and direct reports (along with the coach) who participate in and support the change process.
- SCC’s a Five-Phase Cycle:
- Phase I: Choose a Leadership Goal, then choose participating Stakeholders
- Phase II: Enroll Stakeholders as Key of the Process
- Phase III: Develop Action Plan using Stakeholders' Input
- Phase IV: Follow-up with Stakeholders receiving their feedback and feedforward
- Phase V: Measure Results through Stakeholder Perception of Improvement
