In the wake of tragedy, leaders are faced with challenges that stretch their abilities and skills. In this global economy of rapid change and increasing complexity, many leaders struggle to lead their companies in the right direction. Now, more than ever, there is increased uncertainty, more complexity, and more chaos.

An effective leader replaces uncertainty, fear and doubt with purpose, courage and trust. Purpose provides clear direction in the face of uncertainty. Courage provides strength and commitment in the face of fear. Trust in one's self and one's purpose overcomes doubt.

"In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." - Harry S. Truman

Warren Bennis (1994) describes three things at the top of the list for leading
during a period of unprecedented and transformative change.

Staying with the status quo is unacceptable.

The key to competitive advantage will be the capacity of leadership to create the social architecture capable of generating intellectual capital.

Followers need from their leaders three basic qualities: direction, trust and hope.

Executive coaching plays a central role in enabling individuals, teams and organizations to develop capacities. Organizations using coaches will increasingly see human wisdom being created and practiced by larger numbers of individuals and groups of people.

Executive coaches help leaders to develop skills of self-observation, self-awareness, self-responsibility and self-mastery. These skills enable leaders to grow long after the coaching relationship ends. Coaching develops extraordinary leaders. Extraordinary leaders produce extraordinary business results.
