The Dangers And Successes Of Hiring An Executive Coach

By Ruth Wallace


The most successful people around the world usually credit their achievements to coaches. This has made it almost impossible to believe that you can achieve anything without the assistance of an executive coach. What are the risks involved, what successes can you expect and how can you maximize on coaching?

Coaches work by studying the lifestyles of successful people around the world and identifying their best behaviors. They offer universal insights aimed at transforming your personal or organizational fortunes. This is the value they offer to their clients. Through this approach, it is possible to halt traditions that do not work and adopt trends that are globally acclaimed. This will improve productivity and raise the operational or organizational behaviors of the client.

Coaches take an objective approach since they do not have the luxury of details. Their assessment is devoid of traditional thinking or favoritism. This is a clear departure from self assessment that is riddled with biases. This independent view of issues opens the eyes of executives enabling them to see possible solutions through an independent lens.

Coaching creates possibilities for executives who are willing to work with them. They help you shake your organizational habits considering that they offer an independent eye. Upon gaining the confidence of executives, coaches can lead them through a transformation period that helps the group or individuals to think beyond conventional boundaries.

The subject for whom the coach has been hired must be willing to embrace the move. The management should never impose such a person since he is considered an intruder. This only happens when the team recognizes the need to have the trainer in its midst.

Coaches help executives to consider new possibilities. It is a confidence booster especially when coaches reinforce the thoughts of executives. This method works best when the coach guides the leaders into making own decisions other than imposing the decisions on them.

Having coaches within your ranks even for a while is not all rosy. The real dangers to watch out for include a scenario where they wield more power than the people refer to as experts within your organization. The management must not regard their word unduly higher than those of specialists working within your organization. Instead they should be regarded as boosters ensuring that they do not significantly change operations at the organization but focus on enhancement.

Employees understand the core business and organizational strategy. Coaches are deprived of details meaning that they mainly address symptoms instead of real problems. This exposes you to the risk of misjudgment which is likely to ruin your organization. The foundations of your goals or organizational road map must be maintained and only receive coaching as a boast. Allowing coaches to take the lead or overstay could lead to a huge disaster.

More people are looking for quick answers that they think are with coaches. Coaching for executives does not provide the answers but only reinforces existing efforts and structures. It is the approach you give the exercise that determines your level of success. Only individuals and organizations that recognize the need to have coaches and embrace them will reap requisite benefits.
