Roles coaches play at the highest levels that are usually not discussed   Helping teams work together more effectively&amp;amp;nbsp;   Aspects of effective leadership    Key Takeaways   Effective leadership requires balancing a polarity: Respect and support on one side. Challenge and accountability on the other.   The top coaches act as a “thought partner” with their executive clients. They provide alternative perceptions and interpretations to help their clients reach decisions. This is not usually included as something that is part of coaching.&amp;amp;nbsp;   Teams are able to work more effectively if each member is encouraged and willing to communicate their strengths and weaknesses.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   To encourage honesty, ask each team member to voice their level of belief in a decision and then address any doubts or concerns that arise.&amp;amp;nbsp;   Prioritizing respect and humility is the key to effective leadership. Being merely “nice” isn’t going to help anybody in the long run.&amp;amp;nbsp;    “To be an entrepreneur, you have to be very intentional, that continue to surround yourself with top talent and smart people and smart clients.” —&amp;amp;nbsp; Susan Power   Connect with Susan Power:&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/powerupleadership/&amp;amp;nbsp; Twitter: https://twitter.com/powerupleaders/&amp;amp;nbsp; Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PowerUpLeader/&amp;amp;nbsp; Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/powerupleadership/&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;  Connect with Jordan:&amp;amp;nbsp; For executives wanting a complimentary executive coaching conversation: jordan@jordangoldrich.com&amp;amp;nbsp; Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/ </description>
