The definitive differences between Leadership and Coaching
Leadership: “The process of influencing an organised group toward achieving its goals” [Hughes/Ginnett/Curphy (1999)]
Coaching “Coaching is about creating a vision and providing a safe environment that allows individuals to fall down a number of times during their learning, their growth and their development as they journey toward being a whole person” [John Buchanan: “If better is possible”(2007)]
PEAK PERFORMANCE
Definitions of Leadership:• The actions of motivating people to achieve their goals.• Inspiring people in pursuit of Peak Performance [improved individual or collective performances
that exceed previous best performances]
Coach: The trainer/instructor, to train, to teach. The strategist, the lighthouse, the mentor, the guide.
Captain: The leader of the team/group The decision maker, the tactician, the inspiration, the standard bearer.
Successful Captains:• Richie Benaud, Wally Lewis, John Eales, John Bertrand, Alyson Annan

Successful Leaders• Nelson Mandella, Margaret Thatcher, Gail Kelly, John McFarlane, Chip Goodyear.

GENERAL COLIN POWELLChairman (Ret), Joint Chiefs of Staff
“Organisation doesn’t really accomplish anything. Plans don’t
accomplish anything either. Theories of management don’t
much matter. Endeavours succeed or fail because of the people
involved. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great
deals.”
A Leadership PrimerLesson 8
GENERAL COLIN POWELLChairman (Ret), Joint Chiefs of Staff
In a brain-based economy, your best assets are people. We've heard this expression so often that
it's become trite. But how many leaders really "walk the talk" with this stuff? Too often, people
are assumed to be empty chess pieces to be moved around by grand viziers, which may
explain why so many top managers immerse their calendar time in deal making, restructuring and
the latest management fad. How many immerse themselves in the goal of creating an
environment where the best, the brightest, the most creative are attracted, retained and, most
importantly, unleashed?
