From Gary Cohen

author of Just Ask Leadership

In Why Every CEO Needs a Coach, Gary Cohen and the CO2 Coaching team examine one of the most common patterns they see in senior leadership: capable leaders gradually become the integrator, problem-solver, decision-maker, and accountability mechanism their organizations depend on.

Executive coaching helps leaders see that pattern from the outside, challenge the beliefs and behaviors reinforcing it, and build an organization that can operate with greater clarity, ownership, and strength without requiring the CEO to carry it all.

The goal isn’t to become more indispensable. It’s to build a business that no longer needs you to hold everything together.
