I’ve identified 11 essential elements that every executive coach must have to be  great (not just good). They’re built on a foundational belief that every coach (every employee and employer, really) has the responsibility to give every assignment that they take on their best effort because consistent best effort leads to great performance. It is not the coach’s responsibility to pull your best effort out of you, necessarily. It is the coach’s responsibility to give his or her best effort. with the help of a coach. The coach must be organized and well prepared.
