Return To Leadership Development Article Archive   Executive Coaching for Leaders - How to Improve Business Results By Maynard Brusman "Executive coaches are not for the meek. They're for people who value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common, it's that they are ruthlessly results-oriented." FAST COMPANY Effective coaching is a major key to improving business performance. Executive Coaching focuses on the qualities of good leadership and improved business results. It is comprised of a series of structured, one-on-one interactions between a coach and a person in a leadership position. Executive Coaching is aimed at enhancing a leader's individual and organizational performance. The Business Case for Executive Coaching Research • The research of Goleman and Boyatzis shows that the key indicator of failure for young executives is their inability to develop empathy. • The research of the Gartner group shows that the key factor in retaining high quality employees is having a favorable relationship with their supervisor where they experience the opportunity being treated like an adult and given the chance to grow and develop. • The research of Metrix Global shows that coaching generated improvements in retention, cost savings, productivity, work output and sales and 69% of improvements were attributed to coaching. • A study of 100 executives from Fortune 1000 companies conducted by the Manchester Group found the following results: 5.7 times the initial investment in coaching is recaptured through coaching, a 53% improvement in productivity in executives receiving coaching, and a 48% improvement in quality from executives receiving coaching What are the benefits of executive coaching? They include achieving more business and personal goals, clarifying causes of behavior and creating a strategy for long term change, developing emotional intelligence competencies, enhancing leadership capability, learning skills to manage conflict and change, improving job performance, and supporting succession planning. Executive Coaches work with executives, corporate leaders, senior professionals, entrepreneurs, accountants, attorneys, and business owners in a broad range of industries to make you more valuable to yourself and your organization. Executive Coaching can help you to become a leader who motivates, inspires and innovates, deals with difficult people and issues, makes better informed decisions to lead your company, and utilize your time and energy more effectively. You might benefit from executive coaching in the areas of leadership development, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Clients who succeed the most in executive coaching have the following characteristics. They are highly motivated to maximize their full potential, open and honest with themselves and the executive coach, realize that if they want different results they need to do things differently, open to learning a better way - often tapping into their own inner resources, and enthusiastic about making a commitment of time, money, and following through with actions.
