Today’s leaders face seemingly endless challenges: delivering growth, building high performing teams, refining their competitive edge and embracing transformation. This must be accomplished within the backdrop of limited time or resources and increasing pressure from shareholders and stakeholders.
A seasoned executive coach helps executives step back from these conflicting challenges and gain the perspective necessary to exercise balanced leadership. Once seen as a solution of last resort for leaders in distress, executive coaching has now emerged as a much-needed ally of CEOs and senior executives as they sharpen their leadership capabilities.
Executive coaching creates more resilient leaders and helps:
• Develop leaders in key areas to address specific business or relationship challenges.
• Improve an executive’s ability to lead change, gain buy-in, and build diverse teams.
• Help executives balance the rigours of professional and personal commitments.
• Nurture strategic thinking and creativity within an executive.
• Provide an outlet for an executive to actualize their aspirations or frustrations.
• Help executives think through important career progression decisions.
Our approach to coaching: After setting the vision and the leadership “brand” one wishes to develop, the process consists ussually on a 9-12 months plan with several coaching sessions. Although sessions will be customized according to participant’s needs, they follow a base-framework, considering
• The Organizational Context (understanding the main leader’s business challenges)
• Individual assessment (comprehensive assessment using Hogan LeaderFit report)
• Action Plan (defining development priorities, must win battles, quick wins…)
• Key Stakeholders (mapping and define concrete actions to activate critical stakeholders)
