Leadership is a Team Sport—Grow with the People You Lead.
At the Javelin Institute, we believe leadership doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s reflected in every interaction, every decision, and every outcome others experience. Our Stakeholder-Centered Coaching brings your leadership into focus through the lens of those you lead—providing real-time feedback, accountability, and growth you can measure.
What Is Stakeholder-Centered Coaching?
This coaching experience blends one-on-one executive development with dynamic stakeholder input. As a leader, you don’t just influence outcomes—you shape the culture, morale, and momentum of the team around you. Our approach ensures your growth is not only visible—it’s validated by those who matter most.
“The best leaders don’t grow in isolation. They grow through interaction, awareness, and shared success.”
– Sam Palazzolo, Principal Officer @ The Javelin Institute
Who It’s For
Stakeholder-Centered Coaching is a powerful fit for leaders who:
- Are responsible for driving team or organizational performance
- Struggle to receive honest feedback from peers or direct reports
- Want to align leadership behavior with stakeholder expectations
- Are ready to increase engagement, trust, and team effectiveness
- Have already done personal leadership work and are ready for the next level
How It Works
Stakeholder-Centered Coaching is structured over 6–9 months and combines deep individual work with 360-degree feedback loops from a curated group of stakeholders. Each engagement is tailored based on your organizational role, industry context, and strategic goals.
Key Components:
- Stakeholder Identification & Onboarding – Select and brief key peers, reports, and leaders to support the coaching journey
- Leadership Impact Baseline – Gather initial feedback through surveys or interviews to define strengths, gaps, and blind spots
- Behavioral Goal Setting – Identify 1–2 high-impact leadership behaviors to improve based on stakeholder input
- Monthly Feedback & Pulse Checks – Continuous check-ins with stakeholders to track visible behavior change and impact
- Executive Coaching Support – One-on-one coaching to reflect, integrate, and reinforce learning and development
Why It Works
Stakeholder-Centered Coaching holds leaders accountable to what matters most—visible behavior change that improves business and people outcomes. Unlike traditional coaching, which may focus solely on introspection, this approach is interactive, real-world, and directly tied to leadership reputation and team results.
- Rooted in Marshall Goldsmith’s acclaimed stakeholder methodology
- Reinforces real-time behavior change
- Creates feedback-rich, growth-driven environments
- Builds credibility and trust across the organization
“I didn’t just feel like I was improving—I knew I was, because my team told me so. And that made all the difference.”
