Today, as the nature of leadership is re-defined, leaders themselves are required to confront new individual, cultural, organizational realities. This requires the development of personal strategies that emphasize focus, action -orientation, accelerated learning and performance.
Coaching focuses leaders on real business issues such as improving performance, managing a new technology or organizational change, delivering results from an M&A, or maximizing the human talent available to the business in real time.
The coaching process focuses on achieving a sustainable balance between the needs of the individual leader and the organizational goals. This is achieved via a confidential one-on-one relationship between the professional corporate coach and the leader in an organization, with full awareness of the business and organizational context in which he or she operates.
When is a Coach Needed?
Typical situations are:
o When a leader is assuming greater or
different responsibilities;
o When a leader is facing tough times;
o When a leader has to introduce major change;
o When high potential staff members need to develop and be retained;
o When a new or existing team needs to be focused and motivated;
o When a leader needs a turnaround in performance to avoid career derailment;
o When there is conflict between individuals, teams or hierarchical levels.
