  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by ace3000chao on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Coaching Returns AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ace3000chao/book2startup/tree/master/ScalingUp-skills/coaching-returns
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ace3000chao/book2startup.git /tmp/book2startup
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/book2startup/ScalingUp-skills/coaching-returns .claude/skills/coaching-returns
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Coaching Returns in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Coaching Returns on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Coaching Returns is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Coaching Returns(一流人才需要教练)

R — 原文 (Reading)

"No one has ever achieved peak performance without a coach."

— Verne Harnish, Scaling Up, 第5章


I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

Harnish的教练原则基于一个反直觉但普遍成立的洞察:越优秀的人越需要教练。

普通人需要教练来弥补短板;一流人才需要教练来突破盲点、维持巅峰状态、并有一个安全的反思空间。

为什么CEO/高管/顶尖人才特别需要教练?

  1. 信息真空:顶尖人才身边缺乏敢说真话的人——下属不敢挑战老板,同级竞争者不会给你真实反馈
  2. 认知盲点:一个人的优势往往也是他的盲点来源(乔布斯的暴躁创造了iPhone也差点毁了苹果)
  3. 巅峰状态的维持成本:维持高绩效需要定期reset,否则压力累积导致决策质量下降
  4. 外部视角:教练提供的是"组织内部看不到的视角",这是内部反馈无法替代的

教练 vs 导师 vs 培训 vs 咨询:

角色核心功能典型场景
教练(Coach)激发潜能、行为改变绩效突破、人际领导力
导师(Mentor)经验传承、职业导航职业发展、角色转型
培训(Trainer)技能传授、知识转移硬技能、标准化流程
咨询(Consultant)问题诊断、方案提供战略设计、系统问题

教练的核心价值: 不给答案,而是用提问帮助你找到自己的答案——这与"给建议"完全不同。


A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: Michael Jordan 与 Phil Jackson

  • 问题: Michael Jordan是公认的史上最佳球员,但禅师Phil Jackson仍然是他不可或缺的教练
  • 方法论的使用: Phil Jackson的角色不是"教Jordan投篮"(没人能教他),而是:
    • 维持团队化学反应的平衡(管理其他超级巨星的自尊)
    • 在压力下提供心理框架(禅学、冥想式的心理调整)
    • 在Jordan自我怀疑时给予确认
  • 结论: 越顶尖的球员越需要教练——不是因为技术,而是因为心理和团队维度
  • 结果: 公牛队两个三连冠王朝

案例 2: 某科技公司CTO的技术领导力转型

  • 问题: 公司CTO技术能力顶级,但被提升为CTO后开始带团队,3个月内3个核心技术骨干离职
  • 方法论的使用: CEO安排CTO接受外部高管教练(Executive Coach)
    • 诊断:CTO习惯性"自己写代码更高效"——微观管理抑制了团队成长
    • 教练介入:通过16周一对一教练,CTO从"技术执行者"转向"技术领导力"
    • 关键转变:学会"通过他人完成技术工作"而非"自己完成技术工作"
  • 结论: 顶级技术人才的成长需要教练帮助突破"能力陷阱"(因为擅长技术而被提升,但提升后的角色需要不同能力)
  • 结果: 12个月后核心团队稳定,新产品上线速度提升2倍

案例 3: 某连锁企业CEO的"战略教练"

  • 问题: CEO经营企业20年,业绩稳定但增长停滞,董事会认为CEO能力碰到天花板
  • 方法论的使用: 引入"战略教练"(非咨询、非导师):
    • 每季度2次2小时一对一教练会话
    • 教练不问"你打算怎么做",而是问"你的假设是什么?竞争对手在这个局面下会怎么做?"
    • 6个月后,CEO主动提出公司战略方向需要调整——这是他自己得出的结论,而非教练给的建议
  • 结论: 教练的价值在于帮助CEO重新框架问题,而不是给出答案
  • 结果: CEO在教练支持下制定了"B2B转型"战略,3年后营收增长4倍

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 一流人才成长停滞 — 某核心高管绩效优秀但突然没有进步,陷入"舒适区"
  2. CEO/创始人领导力瓶颈 — 企业到了一定规模创始人的管理能力出现瓶颈,但自己意识不到
  3. 高管团队协作问题 — 高管之间存在人际摩擦,但没有人愿意主动说破,需要第三方介入
  4. 引进外部人才的融合期 — 空降高管需要教练帮助快速融入,同时保护其不被内部政治过早消耗
  5. 重大决策前的独立声音 — CEO在做重大战略决策时身边全是"yes-man",需要一个敢说"你的假设可能有问题的"人

语言信号 (用户的话里出现这些就应激活)

  • "一流人才为什么还需要教练"
  • "我手下最厉害的人最近状态不对"
  • "高管团队到了某个阶段就上不去了"
  • "CEO自己需要教练吗"
  • "外部教练到底有没有用"
  • "为什么我身边没有人敢说真话"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • 与 leadership-triple 的区别: leadership-triple是诊断框架(预测/授权/重复三维度),本skill是解决方案(通过教练提升领导力)。Leadership-triple发现问题,coaching-returns解决问题。
  • 与 dumbest-in-room 的区别: dumbest-in-room是CEO的认知心态框架(愿意被超越),本skill是领导力成长的外部工具(教练)。两者互补:心态开放是接受教练的前提,教练是实现心态落地的手段。

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

当 skill 被激活后,agent 应按以下步骤执行:

  1. 诊断谁需要教练

    • 完成标准:评估组织内TOP 5关键人才,标注当前绩效状态和潜力
    • 优先级框架:
      • P1(最高优先级):高绩效+高潜力 → 需要教练维持巅峰+突破瓶颈
      • P2(次优先级):高绩效+增长停滞 → 需要教练打破舒适区
      • P3:低绩效 → 先解决态度/匹配问题,教练无效
    • 判停条件:若组织内没有P1/P2人才(都处于低绩效状态),说明根本问题是招聘/文化,而非教练
  2. 选择合适的教练类型

    • Executive Coach(高管教练):适用于CEO/VP级别,聚焦领导力行为和战略思维
    • 专业教练(专业技能):适用于中层技术/产品人才,聚焦专业突破
    • 同伴教练(Peer Coach):适用于高管团队内部,聚焦相互反馈
    • 选择标准:看教练的"提问能力"而非"答案储备"——好的教练不给建议,只问好问题
    • 判停条件:若候选人拒绝外部教练,说明信任关系未建立,需要先解决信任问题
  3. 设计教练目标和追踪机制

    • 完成标准:与被教练者共同制定"3个行为改变目标",而非"技能提升目标"
    • 追踪:每季度与CEO/被教练者共同回顾行为改变进展
    • 判停条件:若12个月后无明显行为改变,说明教练关系不匹配,需要更换教练

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • B/C类人才的绩效问题:教练是为A类人才设计的,B/C类人才的绩效问题应通过绩效管理流程解决,而非教练
  • 态度/价值观问题:如果关键人才的问题是"不认同公司价值观"或"缺乏基本责任感",教练也无效——这是文化匹配或雇佣决策问题
  • 紧急危机决策:企业在急性危机中,教练的慢速提问方法可能不适合快速决策场景

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • "CEO认为教练是给别人的":Harnish明确说"包括CEO自己"——CEO是最需要教练的,因为最孤独且最听不到真话
  • 教练变成"顾问/建议者":当教练开始给建议而不是提问时,教练关系就变味了——需要的是"好问题"而非"好答案"

作者的盲点 / 时代局限

  • Harnish的教练讨论主要面向企业高管,对于"组织内部教练"(如HRBP、团队Lead)如何培养的讨论有限
  • 外部高管教练成本高昂(市场价通常在3-10万/季度),对中小企业来说可能难以承受,书中对"低成本替代方案"讨论不足

容易混淆的邻近方法论

  • Mentoring(导师制):导师基于自身经验给建议,教练基于提问引导你找到自己的答案——导师是"过来人",教练是"镜子"
  • 绩效辅导(Performance Coaching):通常用于解决绩效问题,是"修复性"的;本skill的教练是"发展性"的,用于A类人才的持续突破

Frequently asked questions

What does the Coaching Returns AI skill do?

当用户在领导力发展上遇到瓶颈、一流人才留不住或成长停滞、 高管团队出现能力天花板时,应调用此skill。 不适用于:技能型岗位的基础培训需求、团队成员缺乏意愿/态度问题的诊断、 纯信息了解什么是教练文化。 Trigger信号:"一流人才为什么还需要教练"、"我手下最厉害的人最近状态不对"、 "高管团队到了某个阶段就上不去了"、"CEO自己需要教练吗"、 "外部教练到底有没有用"。

Why use Coaching Returns on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Coaching Returns is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Coaching Returns in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ace3000chao/book2startup/tree/master/ScalingUp-skills/coaching-returns. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Coaching Returns?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Coaching Returns?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Coaching Returns with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Coaching Returns AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ace3000chao under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
