I am preparing for a short seminar for a group of consultants on
coaching top management who wish to lead organisational change. We
are interseted in learning more about how consultants can help top
leaders with their personal development and learning on this issue.

I would be fascinated to hear what thoughts learning org people
might have on this. In particular on:

What is the 'subject matter' of the coaching/relationship? By which
I mean the need for us to understand the leaders role in whole
system change.

What is involved for the leader personally in this sort of change?
What does he or she need to learn/do/change? What are their
feelings/problems/incentives in making the personal journey towards
a new place?

What is the consultant role? Is coaching - in the sense of teaching,
possible in this situation? Or is the consultant's role more that of
catalyst or facilitator? Or is there no role for a consultant?

I would really value people views and experience.

regards
