Executive Coaching

As an executive, do you have any of the following characteristics?

• Are you the kind of senior executive who focuses more on the process and not enough on getting results through delegation and empowerment of your direct reports?

• You have a clear vision of what you want to say but you are having a difficult time articulating your message to the employees?

• Are your executive staff meetings pleasant, enjoyable, boring, and lack resolution or are they exhausting, critical, constructive, and getting results?

• Is it difficult for you to show weakness in front of your reports?

• Do you insist your reports take leadership training, but you procrastinate on developing your own skills and job performance?

If so, you might want to consider executive coaching. Coaching is relatively new in the executive suite. Executives use coaching for a number of reasons: to learn specific skills, improve their effectiveness, prevent derailment, prepare for career moves; or to obtaining better business results.

Most coaching is based on one-to-one relationships between the executive and coach, typically behind closed doors. Each coaching situation is different.

Most senior executives, today, clearly understand that the development of the leaders in their organizations is vital to the business results. Yet, many executives overlook their own development and the impact this has on the bottom line. Many senior executives use all kinds of performance measurements to evaluate key reports but fail to hold a mirror up to their own performance to get an objective view of themselves.

It is difficult to see ourselves as others see us. If nothing else, coaching provides feedback from those who are positioned to observe our performance. Successful senior executives realize that facing up to and improving those personal areas of development directly contributes to the success of the business.

Personal coaching provides many other advantages for the executive. Today, successful organizational change requires a major change in attitude and behavior from all employees, especially those in critical management roles. Senior executives shouldn't expect the employees to change behaviors if they don't change themselves. Coaching will help identify the most significant areas of development, prioritize them, and designed the program to help improve or change the behavior.
