The Role of Altruism in Executive Leadership and Executive Coaching

June 6, 2019 By John Mattone Leave a Comment

Altruism is commitment to the welfare of others, in contrast to egoism, which is commitment to the welfare of the self.

Altruism is about helping for no other reason than it’s the right thing to do.

Altruism operates on numerous levels and is valued by society in many ways. It may play a role in close relationships like those with family members and close friends, in professional relationships at work, and in broader ways, such as through the volunteering of time or giving of wealth to help those in need.

Practicing altruism has been associated with greater longevity and emotional stability, and higher subjective well-being. Studies of altruism in the context of leadership are finding that the quality makes leaders more effective as well.

Does Altruism Necessarily Mean Giving Up Something?

Altruism can indeed mean giving something up, but in most cases, that “something” that is given up means far less to the giver than it does to the person receiving it. For example, trading shoes with a homeless person whose shoes are falling apart isn’t that much of a sacrifice to the person who has a closet full of shoes at home.

Many times, however, altruism requires no tangible exchange at all. Telling someone, unprompted, how much you appreciate them only costs a few seconds of time – time that might otherwise be spent playing a phone game or doing something else trivial. So while altruism is an act of giving, it is giving freely, not out of coercion. It’s doing something because it’s the right thing to do.

Studies: Altruism Is Good for Leadership

Niti Singh and Venkat R. Krishnan of Chennai, India studied altruism in the context of transformational leadership. You’ll recall that transformational leadership is a leadership style where leaders inspire and encourage innovation among everyone to improve company success. It is based on empowering rather than micromanaging and gives employees room to be more innovative and find new solutions to problems. Singh and Krishnan found that the “other-orientedness” of altruism enhances transformational leadership while strengthening collective team identity.

Altruism in a leader improves effectiveness and increases feelings of team cohesiveness.

Researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln found that altruism accompanied by social astuteness (similar to self-awareness) improved leadership effectiveness. Altruism accompanied by networking increased leader success as well as effectiveness. The only drawback researchers found was that altruistic leaders sought out promotion opportunities less frequently.

When Altruism Turns into Something Else

Genuine altruism is a selfless act, but there are people who use altruism in self-serving ways. For example, a narcissistic person will make altruistic gestures, but only if they’re prominently on display so everyone can admire them. In other words, altruism can be inverted so that rather than being an other-focused act, it is ultimately self-focused. This type of “altruism” can lead to chronic activation of stress hormone release based on unrealistic expectations of the value others place on the person’s giving actions.

Such acts aren’t really altruistic, because they’re in pursuit of another goal: self-aggrandizement. People are remarkably astute as recognizing such acts, and though they can give a person a temporary ego boost, they don’t confer the longer-term benefits of genuine altruistic behavior.

Sometimes, executive coaching engagements require that I delineate true altruism from “show” altruism, both for the good of the client and for the recipients of those “altruistic” acts. Altruism is about helping as an end in itself, not as a means to something else. Legendary coach John Wooden said, “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching,” and this concept is highly applicable to altruism. When genuine, it lifts and empowers both giver and receiver.

Some may find it strange that I talk about altruism in the context of executive coaching, but it really is an excellent indicator of one’s character. And excellence in leadership requires strength of character, period.

Why Executive Coaching Must Emphasize Self-Awareness

May 28, 2019 By John Mattone Leave a Comment

The saying “Know thyself” has been prominent across multiple civilizations for as long as history has been recorded. Inscribed on temple entrances in ancient Egypt, and known as the most popular Delphic maxim, this fundamental concept is still being espoused well into the twenty-first century.

Self-knowledge is the beginning of self-awareness and all its potential.

Being effective as a human citizen of the world requires self-knowledge. With good self-knowledge, we are able to work with our strengths and find the best ways to overcome our weaknesses. When we know where we tend to fall short, we can use our strengths to work out ways to compensate.

Lack of self-knowledge leads to poor communication, misunderstandings, and time wasted as we stumble around trying different things without regard to whether we’re likely to make them work. Professionally, few people have the luxury of unlimited trial and error, especially when it comes to leading others. It’s one thing to try something new, but quite another to grasp at leadership tactics when the time and talents of other people are at stake.

This is not to say that trying new things is bad. In fact, we should all step out of our comfort zones on occasion. Few things are as satisfying to a mature adult as discovering previously unknown aptitudes! But as we grow as professionals and leaders, understanding our strengths and weaknesses is both invaluable and mandatory. The concept of self-awareness is about knowing oneself and making the most of that knowledge. It is perhaps the most fundamental leadership skill.

What Is Self-Awareness?

Self-awareness begins with self-knowledge. It is taking our self-knowledge and using it to monitor our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. The self is what makes each of us unique, with our own exclusive collection of experiences, beliefs, and abilities. Self-awareness allows us to evaluate ourselves with a degree of objectivity, and it is a primary driver of self-control.

Self-awareness is closely related to the concept of emotional intelligence, and emotional intelligence can only develop in a context of honest self-awareness. The two main components of self-awareness are the things we notice about ourselves and the way we monitor our inner world. It isn’t necessarily about judging ourselves but more about honestly assessing ourselves in a non-judgmental way. Self-awareness is open-hearted and willing to learn.

The human brain is highly adept at storing information about how we react to certain stimuli, triggers, and situations so we’re ready when they reoccur. While the self-conditioning that naturally occurs due to prior experience is valuable, it is even more valuable when we become aware of it and learn to recognize our preconceptions. This is precisely what allows us to step out of our comfort zone and grow.

When we develop our self-awareness, we’re able to come to peace with who we are and manage our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions proactively rather than reactively. In other words, we are able to act consciously and increase our depth of life experiences.

The Difference Between Being Self-Aware and Self-Absorbed

Self-awareness isn’t the same thing as self-absorption. Being preoccupied with oneself is a sure path to egotistical behavior and selfishness. Self-absorption isn’t so much about knowing oneself as it is about being preoccupied with oneself or one’s own situation to the exclusion of other people or the outside world.

A person who is self-absorbed doesn’t show much concern or appreciation about anyone or anything outside their self-interest. They tend not to make the effort to understand other people’s points of view or their feelings. Self-absorption works strongly against the qualities of empathy and compassion – two qualities that are essential for effective leadership. Self-absorption, in fact, is almost the polar opposite of altruism.

Self-awareness looks inward, but it does so as a way of learning to relate to the world better. Self-absorption looks inward only to ensure that one’s own needs are met with little to no regard to the needs of others. Self-awareness recognizes traits that hold us back and looks for ways to compensate or work around them. Self-absorption is too busy focusing on the self to honestly assess ways that certain character traits may be maladaptive or hold us back.

Self-awareness is ultimately a selfless endeavor, while self-absorption is selfish.

When psychologists help people dig deeper into self-absorption, they often find that self-absorbed people are actually afraid of feeling powerless, out of control, or unworthy. Self-absorption is often an effective cover for feelings of vulnerability and insecurity. By contrast, self-awareness recognizes feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability and strives to address them rather than hide them.

How Can You Increase Your Self-Awareness?

One of the best ways to increase self-awareness, perhaps ironically, is learning how to really listen to other people. Hearing what someone says isn’t the same as listening to what someone says. When you learn to listen, you learn to tune into others’ emotions, body language, and choice of words. Learning to do this without constant judgment increases empathy and can help you learn to listen to your own inner voice – without judgment or evaluation.

Another outer-focused practice that’s good for increasing self-awareness is gaining new perspectives. It can be eye-opening to realize that other people don’t view situations the same way we do! Learning to appreciate other people’s viewpoints is a great first step in learning to ask for and listen to honest feedback.

Any executive coach will tell you that gathering 360-degree feedback on a client is tremendously valuable to the coaching process. And when individuals learn to recognize their blind spots and accept feedback, they are rewarded with a fuller picture of themselves and greater self-awareness.

Some people find that maintaining a journal is an excellent way to increase self-awareness. Letting thoughts flow onto paper and then reviewing them later can give us great insight into how certain situations trigger certain thoughts and behaviors.

Most people find that carving out “down time” every day is essential to developing better self-awareness. It’s not always easy being alone with our thoughts without our phones or computers to distract us, but it’s a great way to connect with ourselves.

What Habits Help You Maintain Good Self-Awareness?

The human brain shows remarkable plasticity, well into adulthood. Scientists used to think that changes in the brain only happened during childhood and that by early adulthood, the brain’s makeup was fixed. But more modern research has shown that the brain continues to alter existing neural pathways and create new ones, helping us adapt to new experiences, learn new things, and create new memories.

In the late twentieth century, researchers began to study cases where people who suffered massive strokes were able to regain function – major confirmation of the brain’s continuing ability to change. Typical adults with healthy brains can, in fact, create new neural connections, reorganize neurological pathways, and even create new neurons.

But adult brains often operate on autopilot. This can be tremendously important for activities that require hard-wired “muscle memory” like driving a car, typing, or performing brain surgery. The brain operates in this way to conserve energy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t change even deeply entrenched habits. You can, but it requires consistent long-term practice.

Your brain creates new connections based on what you do repeatedly, and that’s one of the reasons it can be so hard to break out of a bad habit or create a new habit. Commitment is the key. The skills you use for building self-awareness must be practiced consistently over the long term so that new thinking patterns and new habits become ingrained. It’s easier said than done, but you can actually use mobile apps to help you strengthen new habits if traditional methods like calendars and reminders aren’t enough.

How Does Self-Awareness Make Leaders More Effective?

Self-aware leaders are better than non-self-aware leaders in virtually every way.

Twenty years ago, two Cornell University psychology professors named Dunning and Kruger published a paper titled, “Unskilled and unaware of it: how difficulties in recognizing one’s own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments.” You’ve undoubtedly heard of the so-called Dunning-Kruger effect, where people think they are more competent than they actually are. Ignorance of oneself and one’s limitations paradoxically often increases confidence – sometimes with disastrous results.

Without strong self-awareness, we’re quick to fool ourselves into thinking we know what we’re doing when we don’t. In a leader, this can cause projects to fail, people to quit, and revenues to fall. Self-awareness keeps us apprised of our strengths and our weaknesses and knowing both is essential to leading effectively.

The self-aware leader is in tune not only with their own inner world, thoughts, emotions, strengths, and weaknesses but also has better situational awareness (due to stronger empathy). Self-awareness strengthens the individual leader’s performance while helping them elicit the best performance from everyone on the team. Self-awareness, trust, and wisdom go together, and in a leader, those qualities lead to teams that are loyal and hard-working.

Because the self-aware leader is aware of their own limitations, they’re far more likely to continue to strive for improvement. They’re more likely to ask for feedback and to genuinely listen to team members and trust them to contribute to project, team, and organizational success. Furthermore, teams led by self-aware leaders are less likely to be plagued by internal team conflict. In other words, a leader’s self-awareness helps promote self-awareness and its benefits in others.

How Can Non-Self-Aware Leaders Fall Short?

Most of us have encountered leaders who think they excel at a given skill when they don’t. Or leaders who think they’re great to work for, despite driving off the best people on the team. Just about everyone has worked with people who, despite sterling qualifications lack insight on how they are perceived by others. People who lack self-awareness are more than just frustrating: they can severely undermine team success.

While not all workplace conflict is due to lack of self-awareness, much of it is, and it may be based on ill-informed training or not having been led with self-awareness. The good news is that in many cases, people who lack self-awareness may actually want to be effective, but they don’t realize that they’re not.

There’s no question that personality shapes leadership style, which in turns shapes leadership culture, which strongly influences organizational culture. Negative behavioral traits in leaders are often based on ingrained personality traits that may have gone unexamined for a lifetime. A leader who gets results (perhaps through intimidation or other questionable tactics) despite lack of self-awareness rarely is able to sustain success.

Team members – particularly team members with outstanding potential – don’t stick with leaders who employ techniques that are uninformed by self-awareness. Seeing a toxic culture in the making, they’re often the first to leave.

This is not to say that leadership has to be touchy-feely, or that no one should ever have their feelings hurt. It simply means that self-awareness helps leaders develop the leadership skills that get lasting results and that build a strong team and corporate culture, which are necessary for lasting success.

What Are the Personal and Professional Benefits of Self-Awareness?

Developing self-awareness benefits both personal and professional life.

In an ideal world, everyone would experience the benefits of heightened self-awareness. These benefits make both professional and personal life better. When you take the time to develop self-awareness, you can expect the following benefits:

Better decision-making and priority setting, based on better self-understanding
The joy of taking an active role in life rather than just reacting to things that happen
Less tendency to take things too personally – a major time and energy waster!
Ability to see missteps and mistakes as opportunities for positive change
Understanding of why you do what you do
Stronger personal and professional relationships
A better foundation on which to set goals and build dreams
Better ability to forgive and let go of past wrongdoings
Healthier personal boundaries
Stronger ability to live in the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or future

Whether or not you pursue top leadership positions, self-awareness serves you well. And if you do achieve positions of leadership, it will help you lead more effectively. In fact, self-awareness is so essential to strong leadership that executive coaches regularly work with clients on improving their self-awareness.

Conclusion

Executive coaching today usually focuses on working with high-potential leaders and helping them fulfill their great potential. The ability to lead is based on much more than industry expertise, job experience, or a specific set of skills. Executive coaching is about recognizing strengths, understanding where there is opportunity for improvement, setting goals, and regularly working on the skills that lead to overall excellence.

As an executive coach, I regularly work with clients on skills like communication, delegation, and conflict resolution. All of these skills benefit from a foundation of strong self-awareness. The self-aware person doesn’t assume that people can read their mind, or that team members will naturally know which tasks to tackle. Self-aware leaders can also recognize conflict earlier on and understand that conflicts tend not to go away by themselves but must be addressed with tact and fairness.

In fact, if I could only work on one skill with the leaders I coach, it would be self-awareness, because so many essential leadership skills depend on it. Great athletic coaches want to work with players who have a strong foundation of athleticism because it makes it so much easier to teach them specific game skills. Likewise, executive coaches get the best results when they work with clients who have a strong foundation of self-awareness, because self-awareness powers so many positive thought patterns and actions.

As an executive coach, I can attest to the value of self-awareness in leadership.

If you are interested in delving deeper into how self-awareness powers effective leadership, I encourage you to check out my books, especially Intelligent Leadership: What You Need to Know to Unlock Your Full Potential. Just as you can’t slap a coat of paint onto an unsound structure and make a home, neither can you turn the person who lacks self-awareness into a great leader by teaching them specific techniques. The most important leadership qualifications come from within, and self-awareness is the key to unlocking those qualifications.

Glossary of Terms

Brain plasticity – the remarkable ability of the human brain to modify its own structure and function based on changes to the external environment, such as the learning of new skills or consistent practice of habits.

Why Company Buy-In Is Critical to Executive Coaching Success

May 23, 2019 By John Mattone Leave a Comment

By the time someone hires me as an executive coach, company buy-in usually isn’t an issue.

Most companies that hire executive coaches know that it is an investment that can have an impressive return.

After all, it is typically the company that is paying for executive coaching, and they wouldn’t do so unless they believed it was an investment with a healthy return.

But getting the company to sign off on payment for executive coaching isn’t necessarily enough to ensure that the coaching client’s supervisors are truly supportive of the coaching process. When clients go the extra mile to ensure that leaders higher up understand what the coaching process involves and to ask for their support, the results of the coaching engagement tend to be better.

Buy-in involves recognizing potential schedule conflicts, a thorough understanding of the potential ROI of executive coaching, and if possible, a direct meeting between the coach and the client’s supervisor before the coaching process begins.

Coaching May Occasionally Clash with Day-to-Day Business Operations

Though coaches and clients work together to create a schedule that causes minimal disruption to ordinary business activities, there may be times when a coach-client meeting interferes with some other scheduled activity such as a departmental meeting.

The coaching client who makes it a point to discuss the specifics of the coaching engagement with superiors right from the beginning can prevent surprises and help come up with workarounds and alternative arrangements to minimize the impact of the coaching process on scheduling matters.

Understanding of Executive Coaching ROI Creates a More Supportive Environment

Most top-level executives understand that coaching has a strong and positive return on investment, but not all of them do. Usually, educating leaders about coaching ROI happens before a coach is hired, but it’s a good idea for the coaching client to be prepared to talk about the specifics of coaching ROI with those who may still be skeptical.

For maximum support for the coaching process, top leaders should thoroughly understand the process, and exactly how it will benefit the organization.

For example, the client could explain to her supervisor that by working with an executive coach on communication skills, she will ultimately prevent misunderstandings, increase business transparency, and do a better job at representing the company and the brand in all types of business interactions.

The client whose goal is to build more effective teams can explain to his boss that coaching will improve company culture, prevent misaligned objectives, and ultimately deliver higher quality and shorter time to market.

Pre-Coaching Conference with Supervisor Can Boost Results

The opportunity to spend about an hour prior to the formal start of the coaching process talking with the client’s direct supervisor is one no coach should pass up. Not only can I learn about the supervisor’s understanding of the coaching process and clear up any misconceptions, but I can also answer questions and help them realize that they have a real stake in the success of the coaching process.

While my interactions with my client are confidential, that doesn’t prevent the client and their supervisor from discussing goals and objectives. In fact, when the client’s supervisor is curious about the process, they are more willing to provide additional support, such as more flexible scheduling on coaching days. Supervisors who are invested in the process from the outside, often indirectly help the client get more out of their work with me.

Company buy-in is fundamental to executive coaching success, and not just because they sign the checks. When those higher up the ladder than my leadership coaching clients genuinely support the coaching process, it tends to help the client maintain their commitment and enthusiasm as well.

Building company buy-in takes time and requires making a solid business case for executive coaching, complete with goals, milestones, and specific projections of how the process will help the organization as well as the individual.
