The Role Of The Executive Coach: Developing The Best Talent
| |
| Today’s economic environment is demanding even more from the individuals holding executive leadership positions. Doing more with less is the mantra of most organizations. The executive coach serves as an extra pair of eyes, ears and added experience to aid in new and different approaches executives used to meet organizational goals. |
|
|
The ROI of Executive Coaching
| |
| Executive coaching helps key individuals in the organization thrive not just survive. The executive coach helps executives focus and adjust to new organizational realities as they occur. The executive coach helps anchor the executive being coached to focus on… and achieve specific business/organizational outcomes…resulting in a good ROI. |

Five Leadership How-Tos for Recession Survival
| |
| We're in the midst of the worst economic crisis in decades, and many people in leadership positions haven't seen anything like it before. As an executive coach, I know that leaders often make decisions out of fear of what could happen instead of crafting a plan to ensure that everyone stays on track through the bad times. Surviving a recession can feel a bit like sailing without sails, so here are a few tips to help you stop, think and weather the crisis. |

Delicate balance between a career and baby
| |
| Having a career and a family can be difficult to manage and it is not uncommon for women to leave it too-late. We need to educate women and men that there is a right time to have children if they want the best chance to conceive naturally. |

|
Interviews or interrogations?
| |
| Interviews are part of an organization's landscape yet from research it seems that many could be handled much better. It is one thing to be interviewing people, yet another to be interviewed. We need to be on both sides of the table in order to assess their effectiveness. |
|
|
Keep your eye on the ball
| |
| It's very difficult to stay focused when there is so much to do. You have a list, a commitment to doing what is necessary to achieve the organizational goals but there is so much to distract you.
You start the morning with good intentions and check the email. You've got your list to follow and then you find that there are things that are very important - it's only 8.00am in the morning and you have already let your daily list slide...

New to the job
| |
| This article has been written to assist new-leaders of local government. However, the information is just as useful for anyone who has moved into a management role. Rules and regulations change from state to state and country to country but one thing doesn't change: you have to know how to fit-in with your new group and how to manage constituents or employees. |

One small step for you: One giant leap for your Organization
| |
| Times are tough in the business world; very tough in some countries. Regular reports indicate that this is the worst Global Financial Crisis we’ve experienced since WW11. It has made leaders stop and rethink the way they have been doing things. It has made them reevaluate their systems and processes in order to ascertain just how successful they really are. Performance Development Programs (PDP’s) are one way that your organization can improve workplace productivity. Implementing new systems and processes is laborious at first; however setting up and using PDP’s is essential if you are serious about increasing business productivity. They don’t have to be complicated, in fact the simpler the better. When done properly they are a valuable resource for not only you but for your employees as well. |

You need one, I need one: we all need a break
| |
| In the current economic climate the mantra is to work harder and harder. This is a global phenomenon and we are told it regularly. There is no time for a break; you just have to keep pushing yourself. Everyone else is doing it - so of course you must follow suit. It's expected that this behavior will impact on productivity in all the right ways and that the organisation will go from strength-to-strength. Those in leadership are not immune from this pressure. It is not only difficult to continue to work harder and harder, it is impossible because there comes a point when the bone has no more meat on it. While sustainable for awhile, over time issues start to emerge. Pressured, exhausted leaders can experience a loss of confidence, self esteem, lack of clarity and mental and/or physical health issues can appear... |
|
|
Quality planning is essential for success
| |
| When leaders are busy, they tend to rush from one thing to the other. They think they are too busy to plan. What this does is exacerbate the problem; rather than helping them to be more productive, it increases stress, anxiety and does not equate to increased business performance. |

So what differentiates a Life Coach from a Business Coach from an Executive Coach?
| |
| What style of coaching do your staff need and are you giving them access to the right coaches?
Here's a quick definition of how Life, Business and Executive Coaching differ. |
|
|
ARE YOU MANAGING FOR RESULTS
| |
| If you manage others in your organization, you are responsible for identifying business objectives, establishing a clear set of expected outcomes, creating policies and procedures to guide daily activities, aligning appropriate resources, and providing the development and support necessary to maximize the likelihood that expected outcomes are achieved. How would you grade yourself in all of these areas? |
|
|
Create A Habit of Goal-Setting
| |
| One of the most beneficial habits you can create in life is goal-setting. As an executive coach, one of my biggest priorities with clients is to get them to set and write down goals on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. By setting goals they dramatically increase success. |
|
|
The SECRET Truth Accountability Plays in Success
| |
| It is evident everywhere that the vast majority of the human population needs structured assistance with hitting the goals that are most important. For executives and entrepreneurs, there are always key activities that MUST be completed, and tasks that are of necessary (or vital) importance to the success of the company. Knowing that these important responsibilities must be addressed and resolved on a regular basis, the misconception is that we don’t need anyone to hold us accountable for these actions. |

The Benefits of Having a Coach in Your Corner

WHY WORK?
| |
| I was recently accused by a friend as a “WORKAHOLIC”. And, yes I occasionally do log in quite a few hours in a week. But my argument (and I’m sticking with it) to this accusation was surprisingly easy. I told him with some emotion and honest conviction that “I AM NOT A WORKAHOLIC!” |

How Do You Define Success?

Get Your Priorities Straight!
| |
| Lately, I have been amazed at the answers I get when I query executives about their priorities. Many utter a reference to "objectives" that sounds good, but soon they discover that their answers do not clarify what their priorities are that day. They often are not clear on what actions they need to focus on today that will lead to success tomorrow. |

Decisions, Decisions
| |
| Do you ever wonder why decisions you make foster reactions that you never dreamed of? In a Hay Group research brief entitled "Executive Blind Spots," the results of a large survey concluded that the higher executives rose within an organization; • The more they over-rated themselves compared to how they were rated by others, and; • The wider the gap between how they saw themselves and how their peers, subordinates, and managers viewed them. Individual contributors and lower level managers, in contrast, showed no significant gaps between how they and others rated them. |

The Coaching Fallacy What it is and what it isnt
| |
| There is much confusion about what Coaching is- and isn’t. Many consulting firms have simply gone through their marketing materials and changed the word “consulting” to “coaching.” For many in the business world, that sums up what they perceive Coaching to be, a new word for consulting.
Nothing could be farther from the truth! |

Be Coached to Coach
| |
| It is lonely at the top unless we have an executive coach to share the struggles and challenges we face as leaders. Gone are the days of the lonely executive with none among them to trust and confide the challenges and insecurities that exist in us all. In today's medicated, Prozac era, more and more business leaders are finding (and sometimes being required to utilize) great success from the services of a business or executive coach. Past perceptions of the word "coaching" and the negative stigma associated with a last chance effort to save a faltering manager are fading fast. Today's high-speed and information intoxicated business climate screams for more and more business coaches to listen to and offer advice for an overloaded, oversaturated and often overwhelmed executive. |

Death and Taxes ... And Change
| |
| They say that the only things we have to do in life are to die and pay taxes. Actually, we don’t have to pay taxes if we don’t really want to. But we will have to die someday. And there’s something else that we have to do that no one puts on this list. We have to live through change. No matter what we do or don’t do – if we fully participate in a rich, fulfilling life or if we stay holed up in a room somewhere doing absolutely nothing. Change will be a constant companion, even if it’s just in the lines that time starts artfully drawing upon our faces.

They want to say ‘yes' and get the new customer to say ‘yes' so they overpromise. Somewhere down the road, your customer will question the promises you made and start to wonder why their expectations haven't been met. The natural reaction to losing clients is to assume the problem was with them-they didn't give you enough time or enough budget and they wanted the world in return, right? |

Be Coached to Coach
| |
| It is lonely at the top unless we have an executive coach to share the struggles and challenges we face as leaders. Gone are the days of the lonely executive with none among them to trust and confide the challenges and insecurities that exist in us all. In today's medicated, Prozac era, more and more business leaders are finding (and sometimes being required to utilize) great success from the services of a business or executive coach. Past perceptions of the word "coaching" and the negative stigma associated with a last chance effort to save a faltering manager are fading fast.
