Leading with Humanity
The Future of Leadership and Coaching
The Institute of Coaching, McLean, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, is delighted to share the results of a phenomenal, first-of-its-kind, collaboration of IOC fellows and the IOC team – 24 coaches, 12 months, and close to 1,000 collective hours.
Wendi Wasik, CEO of Wasik Consulting, contributed as an Executive Coach and IOC Fellow.
Summary
In 2020, the Institute of Coaching (IOC) conducted an inquiry into the impact of pandemic-era disruptions on organizations, leaders, and leadership coaching. The aim of this research was to explore the lessons for leaders and coaches in shaping a post-pandemic future. Wendi was inspired to join the IOC’s research and writing team to better understand how executive coaching supported leaders to lead with compassion and humanity, during the pandemic and beyond. Along with four of her esteemed colleagues, they coauthored Chapter V, “Coaching Leaders to Change”, in the IOC Report “Leading with Humanity: The Future of Leadership and Coaching”.
