Executive & Leadership Coaching
Executive Coaching is essentially a conversation between the coach and the person being coached within a results-oriented context. The coach engages in a collaborative alliance with the person to establish and clarify purpose and goals to develop a plan of action to achieve these goals.
Today, there is a growing focus on leadership. It is recognized that today's business leader has the responsibility of bringing together the rational and the emotional as well as the content and the process elements of their organizations. This becomes necessary as they have to tackle head-on the difficult issue of business: how to fully develop the human capital - to consistently realize and release the full potential of the each individual, create an atmosphere of motivation, and direct the vision and energy of those who make up their work force.
With this focus on the development of leaders has emerged the
activity of executive coaching, which first appeared in this
form the early 1980's. Although coaching is not a new concept,
executive coaching has come to the forefront only in the last
decade or so. Executive coaching aims to fulfil the following
objectives:
• The development of optimal effectiveness in
a leader and managerial role. Executive Coaching is
helping executives develop the capacity to define their own
view of successful personal and corporate performance and strategy
flowing from this.
• As personal performance is improved, there is a correlated
improved performance within the organization.
