What is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is designed to help facilitate professional and
personal development to the point of individual growth, improved performance
and contentment. Most important, the coach attempts to stimulate the client's
self-discovery by posing powerful questions and/or assigning homework that may
take the form of "thought experiments" with written product or
"field experiments" which are actions to try in the real world that
may result in experiential learning and development of new approaches to
situations.
Coaches need to have a strong understanding of individual differences in
a work place as well as the ability to adapt their coaching style or
strategies.
Many executive coaches have a specific area of expertise. Regardless of
specific area of focus, coaches still need to be aware of motivational needs
and cultural differences.
Executive coaches work their clients towards specific professional
goals. These include career transition, interpersonal and professional
communication, performance management, organizational effectiveness, managing
career and personal changes, developing executive presence, enhancing strategic
thinking, dealing effectively with conflict, and building an effective team
within an organization. An industrial organizational psychologist is one
example of executive coaching.
