Executive Coaching to Get the Results

The executive coach is measured by how well his or her executive coaching process always includes metrics to track performance over time.

However, results alone are not sufficient. The true executive coach gets results that last.

In other words, an executive coach doesn’t just step in and do the work for the executive, or create a brief uplift in performance. Rather, he or she creates a lasting shift in the executive, so that he/she develops new capacities to perform.

Executive coaching overlaps with, yet differs from business coaching.

Both disciplines focus on getting results in organisations, recruiting and developing talent, building teams, and achieving extraordinary results.

However, the business coaching client primarily needs to create a viable business that runs without him or her. He or she probably runs a simpler operation with fewer resources than the executive coaching client.

If the business coaching client is steering a 20’ boat, the executive coaching client is steering a Cruise Ship.

While the executive coaching client often gets caught up in fighting daily fires, he or she lives or dies based on the ability to get results through people, recruit and develop talent, think and plan strategically, and navigate the complex politics of the organisation.
