Executive & Business
Coaching
The ancient Romans were noted
for their achievements in construction. Many
Roman structures are still standing today...they
have survived for well over 2,000 years. The
Romans followed an interesting practise during
construction of buildings, and quality standards
were the order of the day. Upon completion, the
engineer in charge of the project was expected to
stand beneath it when the scaffolding was removed.
If the building didn't hold, the engineer was the
first to know!
Whatever you choose to build
with your professional life and your business,
build it so that you can stand beneath it with
confidence and pride. The greatest reward in life
doesn't come from wealth or from praises or from
high honours. It comes from achieving something
worthwhile ~ something of lasting value ~ an
exhibit of pride.
To keep pace with our changing world,
businesses need to be turned inside out.
Perspectives need to be transformed to
accommodate today's realities. Many business
decisions are rooted in vision and success is
about moving on and up. It is about continually
growing, changing, and becoming better than the
original vision intended.
What Do
Business Leaders Want?
Senior executives of 25
bluechip organisations were recently quoted in
the "Journal Of Management Development"
as declaring that..."coaching is one of the
most powerful strategic and tactical weapons open
to businesses today because of its ability to
enhance areas of executive expertise that were
already at a high level, and to establish skills
that were previously absent or weak."
Coaching performs at all levels
of an organisation, particularly in high
performers and at the top where there are less
role models and precedents, and maximum leverage
can be achieved. Managers who coach can provide
important feedback and training to their team by
providing a structured, results-oriented process
to create outstanding performance.
What's
In It For Your Business?
Consider This:
A business professional earning £50,000 per year
typically costs an organisation 2.5 times that in
overhead expense, yielding a net profit of about
10%. At this margin, an organisation needs a
turnover of £1.25 million to cover their costs!
This is an expensive asset to release for
traditional training courses, and it's certainly
an asset that must perform to potential.
Consider This:
How efficient is your business with change?
During times of transition, productivity shortens
by an average of 3.5 hours per day while
employees fuel the grapevine and become
distracted by rumours and a lack of sufficient
information. This means that 50 employees each
earning £20,000 per year will cost the business
£234,000 in lost productivity over a six month
period.
- Ask Yourself:
What are the inner resources, skills and
talents of my business?
- Now Ask Yourself:
Which of these resources are developed in
my managers and employees? Which have we
ignored? Who is deciding how they will be
used?
