www.johnbaldoni.comCoaching is a process of enabling others to succeed. John Baldoni bases his leadership coaching practice on three key principles: assessment, action planning, and follow up with feedback. John’s approach to coaching builds upon an individual’s personal goals, desire for improvement, and impetus to succeed within the organization. Executive coaching leverages self improvement with the need to fulfill the organizational mission.
John specializes in helping his client discover and achieve leadership presence, which he defines as “earned authority.” Those with leadership presence demonstrate a strong capacity to project confidence, communicate with conviction, instill trust, and most importantly, lead by example. Leadership presence combines a leader’s earned authority with a follower’s reason to believe. While leaders project their leadership, followers authorize it with their approval. What matters to us most is authenticity. Leadership presence can be taught and put into practice through focused coaching. Leadership presence is vital to an individual's ability to influence and lead peers and bosses.
John’s corporate clientele include Fortune 100 companies as well as entrepreneurial start ups and non profits, including the University of Michigan.
John is a frequent speaker on leadership topics, with keynotes focusing on personal leadership, leadership communications, and motivation. He also has developed a series of leadership themed workshops based on his books. Throughout the years, John has had the opportunity to speak to many diverse groups including audiences from corporate, trade, law enforcement, military and university communities.
John is the author of six books on leadership: How Great Leaders Get Great Results, (McGraw Hill 2006); Great Motivation Secrets of Great Leaders (McGraw-Hill 2005); Great Communication Secrets of Great Leaders (McGraw-Hill 2003); Personal Leadership, Taking Control of Your Work Life (Elsewhere Press, 2001); 180 Ways to the Walk the Leadership Talk (Performance Systems, 2000); and with Eric Harvey 180 Ways to the Walk the Motivation Talk (Performance Systems, 2002). Two of his essays appear in two volumes of the Results Driven Manager published by Harvard Business School Press. In addition, he co-authored an article with Marshall Goldsmith, "Selling Up is Leading Up: Coaching Your Manager Can Be as Important as Coaching Your Direct Report" that is contained in Coaching for Leadership (Second Edition) (Pfeiffer 2006).
John is a regular columnist on management and leadership for CXO Media and HR.com. Additionally, John is an Expert Blogger for Fastcompany.com for whom he contributes a weekly “Grab ‘n Go Leadership” column.
John also is the creator of the highly successful series, "Coach Casting," a series of download audio podcasts for CXO Media. Each 2-3 minute podcast carries tactical and practical advice that managers can use to coach their employees (or themselves) on topics ranging from delivering bad news and dealing with people you can't stand to asking for a raise or showing proper recognition.
In 2007, John was named a “Top 30 Most Influential Leadership Guru” worldwide by www.leadershipgurus.net. He joins a prestigious list of honorees that include John Maxwell, Tom Peters, Ken Blanchard, Marshall Goldsmith, and Warren Bennis.
