Why Utilizing an Executive Coach Has Become So Popular
Steph Curry, Dustin Johnson, Roger Federer and Patrick Mahomes have coaches. And Tiger Woods has had multiple coaches. One manager in a GEA member company said, "Even Tom Brady has a coach."
In today's complex and rapidly changing business environment effectively leading employees is a challenge. So, increasingly businesses are engaging executive coaches to assist their leaders and managers. In fact, the demand for executive coaching is doubling each year. And Fortune 500 companies report receiving an average return of six times the cost – FLI Research.
Executive Coaches serve in the roles of supporter, confidant, catalyst, accountability colleague, and partner who shares the goal of achieving the desired business outcomes. Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, said that "Coaching works because coaches tell you the truth when no one else will."
As Executive Coaching has become so popular, any stigma attached to receiving it has disappeared. Today, it is often considered a badge of honor because Executive Coaching always involves individuals who are highly valued by their organizations.
Executive Coaches can be used to accelerate the development of and retain managers with high potential - as well as assist leaders who are experiencing performance challenges. While it is quite common for senior executives to have Executive Coaches, research has shown that managers two or three levels below the C-suite can often yield the greatest ROI from Executive Coaching.
Increasingly businesses are engaging Executive Coaches to:
- Become a partner in a leader's development process by offering useful approaches, perspectives, and experiences
- Assist technically proficient individuals who have been promoted into a managerial role but who are not particularly skilled in dealing with their direct reports
- Facilitate the pace and direction of the coaching engagement to accomplish specific goals - while shortening the time to address a leader’s development opportunities
- Enable leaders to be aware of the perspectives and behaviors that are holding them back - their blind spots
The Georgia Employers’ Association’s Coaches help leaders both improve their performance and benefit their employer by achieving customized coaching goals. These goals become the launching point for the coaching process, are an agenda item in all our sessions and are re-visited at the end of the coaching engagement to measure the clients' ROI. And if the Coach understands the expectations, the organization has every right to expect significant improvement.
Executive Coaching can be one of the best people investments an organization can make, and we at the GEA would enjoy discussing how it might benefit a leader or manager in your organization.
