When it comes to coaching executives and developing their skills, some businesses do not invest enough time and effort.
However, reports from across the world have shown that coaching for success is becoming more common place and is an essential part of any employee development and profile. If you look at sports teams, they train daily to ensure they work as one when they are on the field, and as an office team or business team, training, and development to ensure peak performance is reached is vital.
Employing a coach to provide tailored sessions for your team does not imply that executives are unskilled or working in a poor manner. Quite the opposite! Having a coach can help teams see the bigger picture, and work smarter and more effectively without putting in more hours. The best athletes and all professional sports teams have a coach.
Good executive coaches will be able to help business leaders map out a path for success and coach/guide employees to have the skills and expertise to carry out such plans. Unlike training, coaching looks at the specifics that executives want to work through to help them achieve their goals; the focus is on implementation. This 360-degree approach to issues means that many different skills can be learned and as a result, an employee will pick up more than one way to deal with issues or situations.
Furthermore, executive coaching helps people reach their full potential and should be used for employees who are identified as having high potential talent. Not only will this benefit them as individuals, but it will greatly impact (in a positive manner) the skills of the team.
