Executive Coaching has gained recognition as being one of the most positive and powerful tools in the armoury of organisations which truly wish to ensure that their most importance resource, their people, are working to their potential.
Research indicates that the top reasons for utilising an executive coach include:
1 ) Sharpening the leadership skills of high-potential individuals (86 per cent );
2 ) Correcting management behaviour problems such as poor communication skills, failure to develop subordinates, or indecisiveness (72 per cent );
3 ) Ensuring the success, or decreasing the failure rate, of newly promoted managers (64 per cent );
4 ) Correcting employee relations problems such as poor interpersonal skills, disorganisation, demeaning or arrogant behaviour (59 per cent );
5 ) Providing the required management and leadership skills to technically oriented employees (58 per cent ).
Paula King, director with one of the largest coach training companies in Ireland, Executive Coaching Solutions (ECSL ), believes that the work of effective executive coaching within organisations involves much more than goal-setting.
“It involves unleashing the human spirit and expanding people's capacity to achieve stretch goals and bring about real change. This does not start with simple coaching techniques like setting goals, motivating people, and giving feedback. It starts with considering and altering the underlying context in which these occur. It is a holistic approach which recognises that human beings are multifaceted beings with amazing potential to succeed in all areas of their lives. Working with a professional coach, clients create amazing changes in their lives which will not only impact positively on their performance in the workplace but will transfer to all areas of their lives.”
