Why do you need Executive Coaching?

Is there someone on your staff that will be brutally honest with you? If your thinking of a subordinate than your kidding yourself. They will only tell you what you want to hear, or they will candy coat it.

No, sometimes we need the truth uncensored, delivered in a professional way.

You not only need coaching you need an executive coach that can evaluate you with a critical eye, not trying to be destructive but constructive.

You need someone that will observe you as you truly are and then give you the feedback you need to make those adjustments that will move your organization forward.

As executives our interactions with subordinates have an enormous impact, either positive or negative. Our words can be misinterpreted so easily. Just the tone of your voice can make an impact on someone.

How you walk through the hallway on your way to the elevator can change ones opinion of you.

So it's not just your incredible wisdom of the financial reports and your draw dropping presentations that keep the organization running smoothly! It's the whole package.

Your ever so slight dealings with someone from the mailroom may motivate and inspire that person to make a career in your organization. They may continually go the extra mile to make sure their little part of the organization is the best that it can be. You can create loyalty!

All that from either acknowledging their existence when you pass them in the hallway, or totally ignoring them like they didn't exist at all!

Those are the types of things executive coaching can point out.

Many years ago I worked in an international organization and every once in awhile a prominent person from the corporate office would call my office. They must have taken notes on me when they had spoken before because they would never forget to ask how my wife and kids were doing by their first names. That had an amazing impact on me! Whether they were reading it off a note card or truly remembered them it showed they did care about who I was.

Never discount knowing someone's name in your company. It is always the little things that make the big things happen. Be more available to everyone even if you're at the top.

Don't forget who is representing you and your organization day after day and month after month. It is the people in the trenches that are really representing you.

When you go to the Supermarket and the clerk is rude, do you discount their behavior or do you frown upon the entire company. My guess is that it is a little of both, but the company will suffer because of it.

Treat them like you want them to treat the customers.

Executive Coaching will help to point out the little things so that the big things can take care of themselves!

May God Bless you!
