In this short clip from BCG’s executive coaching program Mickey McManus shares how he acts as an “accountability buddy” and or helps leaders find someone who can help them be accountable as they work to grow their leadership toolbox. In particular he explores how he helps the leader “stimulate planfulness.” Ultimately in coaching, he’s trying to setup a loop from understanding a leadership goal, to exploring options to practice demonstrating that new mindset or skillset, to detecting how they did, and to reflecting on what worked and didn’t work so they can build a new capacity.
