Executive business coaching continues to be an excellent solution to closing the performance management gaps in business while developing employees to become better leaders. Research continue to support a positive return on investment (ROI) ranging from 200% to over 1,000% with an average ROI around 500%. To achieve these results, the focus of the coaching process centers around the development of exceptional leadership skills.
Yet, why does coaching work? Many agree that coaching works because executive business coaches bring 3 key traits into the relationship.
Outside Perspective - When an outside perspective is brought in, the coach sees the "same landscape with different eyes." (M. Proust) Having a new filter or lens to see the same issues allows for new opportunities for change. Many executive business coaches use this simple question when challenging the existing landscape: How is that working for you?
Sagacious Background - Coaches have a background where they are keenly perceptive. Their experiences may not be specific to a particular industry, but are related to the performance management issues facing the organization or the individual. Not having industry experience allows them to bring a third trait into the coaching process.
Knowledge Connectors and Renders - One of the driving traits of most coaches is the innate capacity for innovative and creative thinking and learning. These individuals connect what appear to be disconnected bits of data and link this information together. Also, executive business coaches can take a quite complex situation and render it to its basic elements. This trait helps to overcome the complex and even the inertia within both organizations and individuals that are hindering performance management and ultimately positive results.
Most people agree that no one can change anyone. Change especially sustainable change must come from within the individual. Effective executive business coaches challenge their clients by leveraging these three traits during the coaching process. The desired change happens because their approach generates inside out results.
