How Executive Coaching Can Make You a Better Leader in Times of Change

Over the past couple of years, the speed of change in business has had consequential impacts on a wide swath of industries. Work style and information gathering like Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are not the least of these changes. Leaders have had to adjust processes and training and keep up with changing customer expectations as a result of new technologies. Executive coaching can help leaders who may be struggling to evolve at this rapid pace.

Executive Coaching isn’t Just for the Troublemakers

Executive coaching has been a widely used tool at all levels of leadership for the past few decades. Top executives have been known to compare themselves to elite athletes in their need for honed skills. Although the benefits of executive coaching can be used for leaders who are having difficulty, the results can elevate top performers to even higher heights. Proven results range from improved self-awareness, confidence, communication skills, as well as productivity and profitability.

Executive Coaching is for More Than Just the Individual

With three active generations in the workforce and smart technologies now woven into our daily lives, workplace changes can be overwhelming. But since management style directly influences company culture and company culture impacts organizational performance, coaching for top leadership performance can have a huge impact. How leaders manage change of any kind can accelerate or derail not only an individual leader’s success, but your entire business’ trajectory.

Executive Coaching for Better Adaptability

Here are three ways executive coaching can help leaders adapt more successfully to change and maximize their individual and company success.

1. Move beyond self-imposed limitations. You may not even recognize the barriers that you put up for yourself. Coaching can identify, then manage these issues. Knowing what your triggers are and how to manage them can make times of change into times filled with opportunity.
2. Develop a talent pool and create loyalty. Building a solid team that cultivates leadership at all levels of your organization, embraces successful challenge resolution techniques, and identifies growth trajectories for the individual and the team – will establish loyalty and commitment. This foundation enables businesses to thrive when others struggle in times of change.
3. Improve your decision-making skills. Trusting your gut or instincts in business helps all levels of leaders get ahead. In times of change, the ability to pivot requires leaders to be in touch with this intuition and have systems set up to evaluate them.
