Today’s leaders and managers are required to demonstrate a comprehensive range of technical and interpersonal skills to execute organisational change and create shareholder value. Executive coaching provides a tailored, flexible environment to address these challenges and prepare executives for the demands of tomorrow. It challenges leaders and managers to engage their people. To better hold their people responsible for the work they need to do, along with the progress and outcomes sought. It builds a leader’s capability to deliver on strategies and goals.

The benefits are distinct: heightened levels of organisational commitment, consistent leadership approaches and strengthened leadership capability.

For the individual, rewards include increased effectiveness and the extension or development of new capability; all combined with enhanced motivation. When purposefully and strategically applied, executive coaching delivers significant performance benefits to both the individual and the organisation.

Typical start-points

• Executives moving from management roles to those which require advanced leadership skills
• Individuals or teams who need to increase their effectiveness in current roles
• Where execution of organisational change or restructure requires the development of new competencies
• To fast track the development process for high potential groups or individuals
• The need to build personal development on the back of a 360-degree performance review
• New appointments, to accelerate effectiveness in a new environment
• As a tool for executives with a need to consolidate formal and informal learning

Our approach

• An holistic leadership framework, which complements the coaching process by using methods and perspectives with an applied and practical orientation
• On-the-job focus, whereby coaching is anchored in real business issues to deliver sustained, high impact results and create self-directed change
• The utilisation of world class assessment and development instruments* which relate to an executive’s real work situation and leadership issues. We also tailor-make assessments for organisations using in-house software or by building on your existing methodologies

* We choose state of the art materials and tools and are accredited by leading institutions such as the Centre for Creative Leadership, Management Research Group, Human Synergistics and Decision Dynamics.
