Executive Coaching for Barack Obama?

Share

presidentialseal

Executive coaching for the former President? During the 2008 Presidential race, pundits and ordinary citizens questioned Barack Obama’s executive experience. Then, an overwhelming majority of citizens showed their displeasure by voting his team out of their majority position in the House of Representatives and limiting their capabilities in the Senate.

During his presidency, most Americans thought about the President’s leadership competence. Every day citizens also questioned the leadership competence of the politicians who were elected to represent them in Washington.  Regardless, the former president is a popular political figure.

Are you willing to evaluate President Obama’s leadership competence on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is inadequate and 10 is optimal for the following leadership characteristics*? If you believe that the former President would benefit from Optimal Thinking Executive Coaching, can you provide your reasons? Would you invest in him now? If so, why? If not, why not?
