Prescription Before Diagnosis Is Malpractice

Rich Baron and Maikel Bailey Episode 217

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!

In coaching, as in medicine, prescription before diagnosis is malpractice. 

Why is this statement so true? The answer is simple - before you are set on a path to develop your personal leadership abilities, it is critical to know which path you must start on. Simply stating that you need communication skills, or need to become a better critical thinker is not coaching.  It is as we said, malpractice. The same would apply if you walked into a doctor's office and before diagnosing the problem, you were out the door with some prescription that may not come close to solving the problem. In fact, it could make the issues worse. The same concept applies to culture and the need to identify the issues before putting a plan in place to transform the organization. 

Rich and Maikel discuss the importance of diagnosis before a plan is put in place on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
