Organizations often find the need to respond quickly to changes in the market, changes in staffing, or changes in the regulatory environment. Good performers are frequently promoted to leadership positions without clear goals and expectations as to what success looks like. Executive and business coaching support can provide the right amount of clarity, leadership development and structure to greatly increase the success rates of newly promoted or newly hired executives and senior managers.

Leadership coaching can be effective for new hires as well as individuals who have been in their positions for a few years but want to take their performance to the next level. Organizations typically invest in executive, leadership and business coaching in the following situations:

  • A top performer is promoted to a senior management position and is expected to be successful very quickly.
  • An individual is already in a leadership position and is looking for development for future promotional opportunities and/or is part of a succession plan.
  • A leader is hired from outside the organization and is expected to achieve challenging goals in the first 3 to 6 months, even though the leader is new to the organization.
  • A top performer is promoted but now will have responsibility for larger budgets, revenue generation and management of several functional areas. This individual needs a coach who understands business and who can help develop strong business acumen in this leader.
  • A leader needs to improve their effectiveness in their current role.
  • A leader needs help in managing multiple priorities.
  • A leader needs to build strong teams and develop their staff.
  • High potential candidates for promotion who need to develop skills in certain areas.
  • An individual performer is promoted to a senior management position and has to develop an entirely new skillset of leadership qualities and abilities.
  • A leader is promoted to be the executive over staff who used to be peers.
  • A leader wants to make a significant change in career or professional life.

These and many other situations are reasons that organizations and individual leaders turn to coaching for support and results.
