Cultivating Coachability: Developing Yourself and Your Team through Feedback, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

Abstract: This article explores the critical role of coachability—the capacity to receive and implement feedback—in fostering individual and organizational growth in today's rapidly changing environment. It examines how self-awareness, a growth mindset, and accountability enhance personal coachability while highlighting leadership strategies for creating feedback-rich cultures where continuous improvement thrives. Drawing from practices at companies like Facebook and Netflix, and contextualizing applications across industries including healthcare and remote work environments, the authors demonstrate how cultivating coachability provides a competitive advantage through accelerated learning and sustainable performance improvements at both individual and team levels.
