Over the past decade, we’ve studied the impact of a wide range of management practices on different dimensions of organizational health.1 This analysis, based on surveys of more than two million respondents at over 1,000 companies, has become a stable baseline for understanding the incremental contributions of specific organizational and leadership characteristics to the health, positive and negative, of the companies in our sample. matters. We’ve long inquired into the processes and structures that reinforce organizational stability. But from November 2013 to October 2014, we added questions, for the first time, on speed and flexibility. Our goal was to discover how often leaders and managers moved quickly when challenged and how rapidly organizations adjusted to changes and to new ways of doing things. Via The Learning Factor

In my executive coaching work, one of the most important traits that differentiates high potential leaders is their learning agility.
In succession planning discussions, organizations identify leaders who are learning agile because these people quickly learn how to be effective in new and different situations.
Organizations hire executive coaches to prepare these leaders for challenging and stretch assignments. Based on my work with these executives, I have distilled eight practices that differentiate the coaching clients who made the greatest gains vs. those that did not. Whether you are being coached by your manager or by an executive coach, these practices will make the difference in your learning agility and impact. Via The Learning Factor

I recently read that in any given sales team, only 20% will take advantage of free training that is offered after-hours. Can you guess where that 20% falls in terms of sales performance ranking within the team? You guessed it. The TOP 20% of any given sales team will typically be the people that take advantage of additional sales training. How telling is that in terms of the traits of those that are constantly pushing themselves to improve?
Have you ever tried to help someone, only to have them immediately become defensive?
How frustrating is it to take your valuable time to try to help someone, only to be told that they have been doing something X number of years, and have always been successful?
We can ALL always stand to gain added skills to our abilities, and when someone takes the time to give you a suggestion, are you open to it, or immediately shut down?
Being COACHABLE is a trait of someone that will continually improve their skill set, and rise above the competition.
When hiring managers, it pays to look for someone that is open to learning and improving, rather than being a brick wall that 'knows it all'.
Read on to learn the 8 habits of coachable leaders, and how to spot them.
Are YOU coachable?

As 2015 winds down, most executives likely have turned their attentions to ensuring a fast start to the new year. They must prepare their teams to be sure-footed amidst uncertainty regarding economic conditions, geopolitical tensions, technological developments, and more — including the added complication of a U.S. presidential election. They need their organizations to be confident, nimble, and relentless in their shared commitment to excel. So how can you as a leader bring this preparation to your enterprise? It certainly isn’t through top-down directives or yet another attempt to craft the perfect organizational structure. Business today is too fast-moving and complex for those options to work. Instead, leaders must master the duality of focus and agility. That is, there must be unity up, down, and across the enterprise on shared objectives, along with great flexibility to seize opportunities and overcome obstacles. Via The Learning Factor
