The 7-D coaching model enables both the coach and the client to explore the underlying problem. What’s more, it aids in finding and putting into practice the client’s most advantageous solution. The coaching process is explained to the client in terms they can understand using the model. Clients who worry, ruminate, or have unhelpful thought patterns respond well to it. Setting goals, recognizing obstacles, and creating an action plan are the three key steps of the model. It also seeks to challenge the client’s perspective on the solutions and their accessibility. The model looks into the “What” of the client while keeping the “Who” in mind at all times.

The way someone acts and interacts with others reflects their leadership style. Rigidity vs. flexibility, or both, could be the cause. Because he is skilled in managing both teams and structures, one could argue that a good leader has it all. I think it’s important to distinguish between structuring comfortably and being rigid and resistant to change, as well as between compromising, being flexible, and letting go of control. The rigid and flexible leadership styles are distinguished by the seven pairs of personal traits and observed behaviors listed below. The way you think affects how you lead. Contrary to popular belief, there are more authoritarian leaders. For them, working in business, law, or medicine is like going to honey (Lubit, 2003, p. 209). They succeeded despite the challenges faced by their supervisors and colleagues.

A Research Paper By Olga Kurek

The dialectic opposition of flexibility and rigidity is presented in this research paper. For professionals working in high-pressure, time-constrained environments, it looks at flexibility as a coaching concept for stress management, well-being, and performance improvement. Flexibility (mental, psychological, coping mechanism, or mindset) can be used when coaching for developing flexible stress mechanisms and strategies to improve well-being and performance. Coaching for flexibility focuses on goals such as academic and professional performance, resiliency, work, life satisfaction or balance, and general self-confidence in one’s abilities. It can be utilized when coping with helplessness, blame, guilt, and shame. Flexibility must be improved through a multifaceted strategy that considers the mind, body, and spirit. Changes to diet, sleep, and exercise routines, the addition of mindfulness meditation, and increased reading are a few examples.
