Executive coaching is a formal engagement in which a qualified coach works with a leader in a series of dynamic, confidential sessions. The coaching sessions are designed to establish and achieve clear goals that will result in improved business effectiveness, both for the individual and the organisation.
A coach will help you:
- Make the specific behavioural changes you want to make
- Leverage your strengths to become more effective in your work
- Identify your developmental needs.
- Helps executives develop clarity of purpose and focus on action
How does Coaching Help?
Executive coaching is not business consulting, organisational intervention, psychological counselling or mentoring. It is one tool in the process of leadership development.
Executive coaching works best when its part of a well thought out development plan. You might for example have a clear idea of the career path you desire, arrange a series of developmental assignments, and schedule regular discussions with your boss. In the context of such a development plan, coaching might specifically aim toward helping you achieve visible and measurable improvement in leadership effectiveness.
Coaching is more powerful when it is undertaken in conjunction with other development tools.
Is Executive Coaching Right for You?
Most managers can easily think of areas in which they could benefit from some expert help or advice, but executive coaches are not qualified to provide all the answers. To decide whether you want a coach or some other kind of counsellor, consultant or confidante, consider these guidelines:
Consider hiring a coach if:
- You need structured planning and support to help in the accomplishment of a new way of leading or managing others.
- You’re faced with a significant increase in the scope of your responsibility.
- You’re a project manager who needs to improve how you build and lead teams.
- You’re a leader who wants to be successful at managing across geographic cultural or demographic boundaries.
- You’re a traditional manager who wants to move to a less dominant and directive leadership style.
- You’re an executive who needs to develop, articulate and sell a new vision for your organization.
- You’re a line manager who wants to broaden your experience and capacity to take on an executive position. You’re a technical manager who needs to become adept at articulating ideas, influencing others, and understanding organization politics.
- You've just completed a development program and have a heightened awareness of skills you need to develop or skills you may rely on to much.
- You need to evaluate whether you are in the right career and explore options for changing your career or profession.
