Abstract
The focus of this paper is on the need for organizations to address the failures of ineffective leadership by adopting a transformative leadership perspective and incorporating seven roles of a Life Coach to encourage, support, and assist employees as they guide them in achieving organizational objectives and excelling personally and professionally. The paper begins by explaining what is meant by a transformative leadership perspective and identifies why that approach to leading organizations is so important. Describing seven roles of the Life Coach, the paper explains how these roles enhance individual and organization performance and offers practical insights for leaders seeking to implement each of the Life Coach roles. After identifying five contributions of the paper for practitioners and scholars, the paper challenges its readers to rethink their current assumptions about creating effective relationship with employees and improving the modern organization.
