If you’re a business leader aiming to up your game, listen up.
Executive coaching has evolved from a “nice-to-have” to an “absolutely must-have”.
According to a CEOWORLD magazine article, over 80% of Fortune 1000 companies are now diving into the coaching pool.
It’s not just a trend; it’s a powerful tool that offers real, measurable benefits for you and your organisation.
How Coaching enhances Leadership Training
It is said we only recall 10% of what we read, and 27% of any training we receive. We also tend to delete a lot of what we read or experienced, to make our recall faster.
When it comes to spending on leadership training, few methods are as effective at embedding information and form, than follow ups with executive coaching.
A 2022 Forbes article sums it up well: a good executive coach uses active listening, targeted assessments, and incisive questions to help you uncover those blind spots.
Think of it as personal training for your leadership skills.
This one-on-one attention ensures that you’re not just doing your job but excelling at it.
The Personal Benefits
Now for the professional growth training aspect.
Your executive coach provides a confidential, judgement-free space for you to truly understand yourself.
It’s the perfect setting for honest self-appraisal and, essentially, professional growth. In complex decision-making situations, your coach becomes your trusted sounding board, asking insightful questions, eking out unexpressed thoughts in the recesses of our minds.
Benefits to the Organisation and “Business Growth Coaching”
Let’s shift focus to business growth coaching.
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) finds that companies investing in coaching see measurable improvements in collaboration and adaptability, particularly during organisational changes.
So, your growth doesn’t just impact you—it ripples through your team and the whole company.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. executive coaching offers a custom-fit solution for leadership development that goes beyond the superficial.
This is about real, measurable improvement in how you lead and the success you bring to your organisation.
