I once read the following quote: "You're too far from your eyes to be objective about yourself." That quote is my favourite! It is short, powerful, yet accurate. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I saw that quote. It was not there again when I tried to find it in preparation for writing this article. It is still true.

As the quote suggests, we all have the wrong eye to see the truth about ourselves. Leaders cannot be objective because they don't see themselves as objective. In this reference, you can find an expert executive leadership coach via https://www.epiphanyprofessional.com/executivecoaching.

Leaders need to be able to evaluate data, methods, and results objectively in order to make better, more effective decisions. For them to evaluate their decisions and their results, as well as the impact of their interactions with other people – including their peers – they need solid, objective feedback.

Coaching executive leadership is a service that gives leaders the necessary feedback to help them grow and learn as leaders. A great leadership coach will be honest with you and offer you constructive feedback to help you grow and develop. You can choose to receive this feedback, or not. 

This type of direct and honest feedback is what leaders want. This kind of feedback will not come from your team as they may be afraid to share it with you for fear of negative consequences.
