Executive Coaching
Does coaching really work in the corporate environment? A recent
study in America found that training improved managerial productivity
22.4% while training plus coaching improved productivity 88%.
Executive Coaching IS NOT about giving advice or consulting. It
is not about mentoring. It is not about “helping” others
by providing solutions to problems.
- Executive Coaching helps create stronger and more productive
people
- Executive Coaching targets skills which are valuable to an organization.
- Executive Coaching is directly tied to professional improvement,
leadership skills and increased productivity, in turn, it pays
off handsomely for the organization.
- Executive Coaching does not “fix” people. The reality
is that it will take from 6-12 months of quality Coaching to make
sustainable changes.
- Executive Coaching is about individual goal setting, strategising,
planning, and achievement. It is about realizing one’s full
potential, which in turn, benefits the organization.
It’s about tangible business results.
Executive Coaching can:
- Reduce turnover
- Increase personal productivity
- Increase job satisfaction
- Help attract higher caliber talent
- Reduce job related stress
- Provide a sounding board for executives
- Increase the value of the organization
- Help turn managers into leaders
An executive coach takes into consideration the vision, mission
and culture of an organization and the values and professional goals
of an individual. The goal is to make sure that both are in alignment.
When the vision, mission and culture of an organization are in alignment
with an individual’s values and professional goals, the employee
is committed to the organization, more productive, effective and
happier at their job. This handles the retention and productivity
issues that many organizations face.
It is common in companies to think that they can’t measure
the impact of “soft/people” related initiatives, like
Executive Coaching. A company can track any initiative that they
invest in and should do so with a coaching initiative. A firm can
conduct a pre-coaching assessment and circle back every 6-12 months
to test for progress. Looking at everything from employee retention,
to personal production numbers, it will be clear what effect the
initiative is having. A company can measure the results.
