Executive Coaching: An Introduction

Every CEO, leader, boss and executive can benefit from an executive coach. Hiring the right coach can help you improve your effectiveness as a leader, increase productivity and efficiency, improve communication between you and your employees, identify and remedy any personal issues affecting your work, and give you the tools to prepare you for the changing landscape of the business world. One of the most common areas in need of improvement is in your role as a communicator. Studies show that 80% of employees are unaware of a company's goals and plans for growth. Further, studies show that 20% of employees are disengaged from the company, contributing to the detriment of the organization they were hired to work for. Effectively communicating goals to your employees can lead them to feel like a valued part of the company which will boost loyalty and increase employee effort as they will want to be a part of company success and growth. Identifying new revenue streams, placing the right employees in the right jobs, discovering remedies for long-standing problems, identifying and dealing with personal or psychological issues affecting a leader's professional life are among the many other areas an executive coach can help improve.
