One can suppose that the greatest talents in organizations are (more often than not) supported by leadership coaching or strategy consulting. The former helps leaders cultivate self-awareness, acquire communication tools, and develop emotional intelligence to inspire and manage effectively. On the other hand, strategy consulting allows executives to solve challenges, align stakeholders, and drive success. Both resources are undoubtedly invaluable, which leaves the question: Why are they rarely offered together?
Suzanne Gibbs Howard, a seasoned advisor, coach, and consultant, states that this gap negatively impacts how leaders develop and lead their organizations. She believes addressing leadership development and strategic alignment is the most effective way to help leaders and organizations succeed.
