The leader must be able to communicate openly about his or her challenges, fears and limitations with the coach without being judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear goals and expectations <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the coaching process, goals and expectations need to be clearly defined in order to be effective.

Continuous practice is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patience and perseverance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Changing leadership skills and behaviours takes time and persistence.
