The Need For Executive Coaching

Today, every organisation has to ride the waves of change both from outside and from within.

As a result, the demands and challenges facing our leaders are immense: they must be able to lead the way with the vision and also be able to manage the task; they must anticipate changes in advance; they must have a higher level of self-awareness for themselves as well as their staff; they need to build highly motivated, high performing teams that deliver the results – the list goes on!

The demands placed upon today's leaders are ever increasing and they have to possess the skill sets and competencies to deliver the goods. Being a good all-rounder is what is essential for success, but how many of us have the complete package?

Every leader has their own strengths and weaknesses. It is the coach’s role to help them to play to their strengths and to work on their weaknesses.

Here are some of the most common reasons why we are approached to design and implement Executive Coaching Programmes within organisations:

Their leaders may want to…

- Fine tune their interpersonal, confidence and advanced communication skills
- Be an outstanding and inspirational leader
- Think more strategically
- Be able to motivate and build productive teams
- Improve their internal political savvy
- Discuss their questions and concerns about how to handle situations that they can’t discuss with others in their organisation
- Have someone around who understands what they’re facing and whom they can confide in
- Improve their development as a person, as a leader and take the company on to the next level
- Raise their profile in their company and industry
- Be able to step back and look at their company or department from a different perspective
- Get some help sorting things out
- Earn what they are worth and get the credit for the work that they do
- Improve their business in every area
- No matter what the requirements are, it is the coaches aim to provide a sounding board for the coachee to work through the key issues and to provide solutions.
