Definitely yes, and c suite level, they do need help more than other staff. A friend of mine was assigned to be a board member and on C suite position. Everyone in his team was setting high expectations from him, while month after month nothing happened. The team started getting demotivated, drop in productivity appeared. 8 months later and he was still trying to discover his team, strengths and capability while trying to focus on business. Look at it as you hire Messy, or Ronaldo without briefing them about the team struggles and strengths. One of the best ways to support them is by providing a coach for their transition. A coach who works with the CEO, so they become effective in their role more quickly, including helping them:

• leverage their strengths and manage their energy
• quickly understand the lay of the land, culture of the organization, their players
• help them establish the right priorities and develop their 30 and 90 day plans
• be the leader that they need to be in order to fulfill their new role

I've seen too many leaders getting distracted and losing their intention. Whether you're leading yourself, your team, your business, your family, peers, maybe even your boss, you need to regroup and think about what you need to do as a leader. Leaders need to operate above the line. Yes there are many things that are outside leaders control, yet we as leaders have much which is within our control. As leaders we need to exercise our responses and our power of choice to be able to set ourselves and the people around us up for the best possible set of outcomes. So what can we do and how to start

1: set the protocols

• what are the things that you need? The tools, the resources, the understanding of how things work.
• What are the things that your people need so they can do their work?

2: priorities

• What in your list is of priority
• What is a priority for the team
• What are the organization priorities

3 : people

The most important fact is looking after your people engagement and satisfaction. Communication is a key to help understanding your team

Winston Churchill once said The difference between mere management and leadership is communication.A leader is the chief messaging officer There are two factors for leaders to consider

• Be ‘on message’ all the time
• Ensure your message is delivered

Different people have different preferences when it comes to taking in information. So delivering a good message but in only one way is not going to reach all of your people. So not only do you need to pay attention to the content of your message, you also need to pay attention to the delivery modes and methods that you're using to get your message across.

It's like making the perfect soufflé. You not only need all of the right ingredients, you also need to have the right technique

Last week I was coaching a senior executive who is been struggling in building his new team. He was always complaining that despite the continuous communication and though he spend lot of hours with his team talking to them to the extent that he started working extra hours and a lot of late nights to finish his work, he is not able to make his work done.

During the coaching sessions it was obvious to me that leadership challenges that was small and simple before covid, came to be complicated and amplifies due to changes Covid situation had introduced to workplaces. As a result and to help him I had to teach him how to coach his team while working with them. I believe each small conversation with team member is an Opportunity to coach no matter how short it is. You can coach your team whether you're working in the same office, different offices and Workplaces, or you currently have a work from home team. Coaching gives you a tremendous opportunity and advantage as a leader when working with your team.

Imagine it as follow, you are the orchestrator, you need to ensure full harmony without using any Instrument and not only this, you don’t need to know how to play all the instruments. You need to be confident in yourself and know how to bring the best out of your team, you don’t need to know everything and not necessary the experts in everything. You need to know how to support the Team and manage interruptions and this puts you in a strong position to lead your tribe same As the orchestrator
