Executive coaching
What is Executive Coaching? Executive Coaching is a confidential one-on-one partnership between a coach and an executive of an organisation. Typically, the executive will fit one of three profiles: · the competent manager who recognises that advancement will be enhanced by personal development in one or more specific areas - commonly people management or the management of strategic change · the successful executive who wishes to further improve his/her leadership skills · the professional (doctor, lawyer, engineer) who finds that the day-to-day demands of business limit their ability to develop long-range business and personal development strategies.
MBA Executive Coaching Process The most important ingredient for a successful coaching engagement is a match between the competencies of the coach and the developmental needs of the executive. If you believe that you, or an executive in your organisation, could benefit from executive coaching, call me on 083 377 1858 or email on mba@melbrooks.co.za I will answer any queries you may have about the process and along the way, familiarise myself with your organisation and in particular, its executive development and performance management systems. If, as a result of this dialogue we agree that there are development opportunities that I can address, we will proceed as follows.
1. We contract to produce an agreed Development Plan that integrates into your organisations systems. I commit to supporting the executive in achieving the objectives and we set the times for our first 6 coaching sessions. These must be face-to-face, but as the coaching continues can be bolstered by telephonic support. 2. I develop a draft plan which we finalise during the first one or two sessions. During this process we note what support will be required of the coach at each step of the plan, the work that the executive will do between sessions and how improvements will be measured. If the executive’s superior requires it, we involve him/her in setting goals and performance measures but also agree, at this stage, on information that will remain confidential between the executive and the coach throughout the process. 3. As the executive implements the plan, we continue to meet at regular intervals. During each session we measure progress and I, as the coach, provide training, information and practical advice to address any arising difficulties or slippage against performance measures. 4. As the executive internalises the new skills, sessions become less frequent and the coach withdraws. Good coaches do not create a dependent relationship.
