Today I'm joined by Sherman Black, a CEO coach who focuses primarily on leaders running small and mid-sized enterprises.  

In our discussion today we cover a wide range of topics, including some of the following:

 

  • Misconceptions around what CEO coaches do (and don’t do)
  • When & how to hire a coach
  • How to think about cost and ROI in making that hiring decision
  • Whether a coach needs direct experience as a CEO themselves
  • Whether your coach should have a direct line of communication with your Board and/or senior leadership team
  • How to quickly evaluate the health of the relationship between the CEO and her direct reports
  • How coaches think about popular small business operating systems like EOS
  • …and many others
