Premium leadership team coaching network? Year long Executive Coaching program using Stakeholder Centered Coaching : TEAM coaching engagements create measurable leadership growth for the leader as well as for the team as a whole using Marshall’s unique Stakeholder Centered Coaching process. The team coaching approach has several benefits. Since one executive coach works with all team members supporting each other in this TEAM coaching process the whole coaching program is very time efficient and reduces coaching fees per team member while still delivering a majority of the benefits of 1:1 coaching for the leader.

In 2004, Marshall Goldsmith and Howard Morgan reviewed a variety of leadership development initiatives in eight large multinational companies. It was a comprehensive study of over 86,000 leaders and executives globally, at these eight multinational companies. Although the desired outcome for all companies was identical – sustained change in behavior at work – they used a variety of tools and approaches. It included classroom-based training vs. on job practice, short-duration training vs. long-term interventions, coaching vs. mentoring, internal trainers and coaches vs. external trainers or coaches, etc.

Talent development has multiple needs. Is there a talent development program or tool that serves various talent development needs? Leadership coaching is such a tool and is the Swiss army knife of talent development. Leadership coaching helps to develop high potentials, succession planning, build a leadership pipeline, help leaders transition up and across, and overcome derailing behaviors of technically brilliant employees. A high potential employee is the one who has the talent, willingness, and commitment to take up leadership roles. They can deliver significantly better business results as compared with an average employee. They also demand more support, investment in their development, and a clear career path. If companies don’t motivate, challenge, and develop them, they will leave for better opportunities. It is essential to identify, develop, and retain high potential employees, or else the competitors will benefit from their ability and drive to achieve results.

Imagine that I have concocted a product – a new soft drink – which I think tastes amazing. But is that enough for the success of the product? Probably not! I will test my new drink with a few representative consumers. After all, they are going to buy or choose to ignore my product. I will allow them to sample my drink and give feedback. The question I will ask is whether the drink is good (based on their opinion/perception). The next question will be – what can I do to make it better? Consumers will give their feedback – let’s say it is too sugary, or not enough flavor, etc. I will make some changes to the drink, based on the number of consumers giving that same feedback. Then I will go back to the consumer and ask them to taste the altered drink and give their inputs. This process will be repeated for a few iterations until the overall feedback to the drink is positive.
