How do we encourage growth discussions in one-on-ones when all the coachee wants to speak about is work?
News: Inside Legitimate Leadership’s Recent London Workshop
“I’d do this in a field with a flip chart if I could,” said Sean Hagger of Legitimate Leadership, reflecting on his passion for Legitimate Leadership workshops – and why he’s happy to set a 5am alarm to facilitate them.
In other words, it’s not just about the venue – he would do them anywhere. It’s about the content, the conversation, and the transformation that happens when leaders pause to truly examine how they lead.
Legitimate Leadership’s two-day workshop in London in September, which Sean led, brought together leaders ready to move beyond command-and-control approaches and discover what genuine, legitimate leadership looks like in practice.

Question: How do we encourage growth discussions in one-on-ones when all the coachee wants to speak about is work?
Answer: Your role as a leader together with your organisational values around growth, are your friend. They give you a starting license for the conversation, so don’t beat around the bush. Say that you’d like to support their growth and to do that you’d first like to understand their aspirations. Ask if you can talk about that. Use this to create a frame of reference for priorities.

Video: If I Devalue You, I’ll Take Something From You; If I Value You, I’ll Add Something To You
By John C Maxwell, American author, speaker and pastor.
COMMENTARY ON THIS VIDEO BY DIETER JANSEN, LEGITIMATE LEADERSHIP: John C Maxwell lists the five things he does every day: Value people; Think of ways to add value to people; Look for ways to add value to people; Do it (add value to people); Encourage others to add value to people. I’ve followed Maxwell, one of the world’s leading authorities on leadership, for 25 years now and have met and interacted with him a number of times as a coach with the Maxwell Leadership Organisation. I can attest to the points Maxwell makes as being absolutely true to the person he is, as well as the values espoused in his organisation. That is why it was easy – no seamless – for me to join Legitimate Leadership. Legitimate Leadership goes a step further though by codifying the points made into the corporate application modules we present: “The True Meaning Of Care” explains what it means to value people ; “Spending Time Appropriately” explains the intentionality behind thinking of ways to add value to people in the form of care and growth; and “Watching The Game” explains how to look for ways to add value to people. The application requirement of each module requires participants to “do” the act of adding value to people. After all, if you devalue people, you will not want to give them anything, but rather take from them. Legitimate Leadership shifts participants’ intent to rather value people so that they will give to them more readily. And this shift in turn inspires others to do the same.
OUR SUMMARY OF THIS VIDEO: What are practical ways to add value to people? Five things – and I do this every day and everybody that follows you can do this every day. It only takes about 10 minutes. So this isn’t hard, but every day I value people – that’s where it starts, that’s foundational. If I don’t value you as a person I won’t add value to you.
Nobody has ever added value to people they devalue. If I devalue you, I’ll take something from you; if I value you, I’ll add something to you.
That’s a world of difference. So you can’t go around devaluing people the way that our culture is today – this divisiveness that is just making me sad. I just look at the leaders and say, “Really, can’t we do better?”
