the ceo magazine, executive coaching

There is nowhere to hide. Not even the executive suite is safe from the changes sweeping business today. In fact, the impact of those changes is felt most keenly at the executive level. CEO’s, COO’s, CFO’s, and senior VP’s—like everyone else—have to hit the ground running and keep running fast. Stockholders and stakeholders demand fast results. Teams must work more efficiently under greater pressure. Leaders at all levels need to be developed, and high-potential and emerging leaders need to be identified and developed earlier and more effectively. Business savvy—always important—has been taken to new heights. Add to this the quest for job satisfaction and life balance, and you have the dynamic tension that creates the vital need for executive coaching in most organizations. Given this backdrop of the compelling need for executive coaching, I am often asked by prospective clients, “what can we expect in terms of tangible outcomes”? Here are my answers:

The 5 Compelling Outcomes of Executive Coaching:

  1. Is a professional process that will link a leaders’ individual effectiveness to the organization’s operational metrics and success.
  2. Is a strategic process that will help the organization continue to attract and retain great leaders, who will be further prepared—through executive coaching, to drive breakthrough operating results now and into the future.
  3. Will enable executive teams to improve individual leadership and team performance.
  4. Will support the organization’s C-level executives responsible for making crucial business decisions and achieving outcomes.
  5. Will provide the “shock absorbers” on the sometimes bumpy road of accelerated pace, rapid growth, innovation and change.

The powerful advantages in the leadership development process, particularly in areas where achieving performance goals are almost always a “stretch” and “challenging”, often moves executive coaching to become a “top-of-mind” business imperative for operating executives and HR leaders alike. Yet, in most organizations, there is still a tremendous gap between what is expected of executives and the available resources to help them acquire both the “inner-core” attributes and “outer-core” skills and competencies required to achieve those expectations. Executive coaching can help close that gap and equip executives with the tools they will need to drive consistent greatness in themselves, their teams, and the organization.
