For a new executive, coaching can accelerate onboarding and culturation while quickly deepening leadership capabilities. It enhances a leader’s ability to think strategically, drive results and often empowers a leader to reach their full potential faster.
But, will you benefit from executive coaching? If you find yourself answering “yes” to any of the following questions, it may be time for you to learn more about executive coaching.
One of the results of executive coaching is the ability for leaders to better understand both themselves and others. Using a number of tools, such as the Johari Window illustrated below, an executive coach helps you to hear feedback, discover more of your potential and understand how others may see you. An executive coach helps you to have a broader “open area” allowing others to know more about you, and helps you be more confident in what you understand about yourself. An executive coach helps you address some of the questions you answered “yes” to the above, so you can thrive as a leader for your team and organization.
Executive coaching may be one of the most underutilized tools that helps leaders reach their full potential. The practice is as unique as the coaches themselves. It involves a confidential relationship where the executive drives the agenda, and the coach provides structure, accountability, and a way to measure progress.
Studies report an average return on investment (ROI) for executive coaching in the range of 5 to 7 times the cost of coaching. The investment is returned when the leader quickly knows how to leverage their own personal strengths to advance both the team’s and the organization’s goals. Coached leaders are more resonant and better able to manage difficult situations with successful outcomes.
An executive coaching engagement typically lasts six to twelve months and includes monthly sessions.
