Thursday Thoughts: The best coaches coach themselves out of a job. The goal is not to keep people dependent but to give them wings. The greatest gratification comes when the student outgrows the teacher.

In addition to my regular leadership blog, I offer “Thursday Thoughts” – simple truths to remind you of what you know and provide an opportunity for reflection and deeper understanding.
Thanks for your Thursday thoughts. A great way to enter the weekend!
So glad you found this helpful!
Hi Jesse,
I’ve learned that dependencies are created when the coach is the primary problem solver and advice giver for their “students”. The best coaches help the people they’re coaching to think for themselves and find the solutions that work for them. Thanks for the thought-provoker!
Great to hear a master coach weigh in. Thanks for your insights, MJ.
