Effective executive coaching must be both strategic and individualized. A balance must be struck between the needs of the organization and the needs of the individual. Aligning individual values and aspirations with the values, visions, and strategy of the organization produces intrinsic motivation and unparalleled performance.
GCA’s approach provides a solid framework from which to identify your organizational goals, areas for executive development, accountability structures, performance-related outcome measures, and to establish structure for sustained improvement.
Executive coaching becomes strategic in the preparation
that precedes the actual coaching process. In collaboration
with the contracting organization, GCA begins by defining
the strategic context of the relationship.
- What are the primary business challenges facing your organization?
- What are the specific business goals your organization intends to achieve?
- What core competencies are vital for success within your organization?
- What leadership skills, knowledge, and abilities have been critical for success in your organization in the past? What is required in the future?
- What is your organization’s strategy for developing future leaders? How do you evaluate the success of your approach?
- What outcome measures will be established to positively determine your return on investment for GCA’s services?
GCA’s understanding of organizational dynamics ensures that the actions taken and changes made during the coaching process are consistent with your organization’s vision and strategic goals.
