Engagement Focus: Executive Coaching


Client - Fortune 50 spin-off and leading manufacturer in the global high-technology arena

Presenting Business Need - The development of future leaders was a cornerstone of the strategic priorities established by the new CEO and his executive team

Solution - The new organization recognized the benefits associated with the design and delivery of an Executive Coaching Program for "high-potential" and/or high-performing leaders. The considerations for the leadership development/coaching included that: 1) the process was proven, i.e., got results; and 2) the process would be consistently delivered on a worldwide basis (i.e., US: Europe; and Asia). Primary deliverables were as follows:

  • Helped to design (and refine) the organization's Leadership Profile, which in part serves as the framework/template for the organization's 360° feedback tool.
  • Designed and delivered an Executive Coaching Program that was focused solely on the senior leadership tier. The implementation for all participants on a worldwide basis was to remain consistent, i.e., all participants experience the identical process, and needed to focus on providing meaningful and measurable results.
  • Worked to create teams of locally-based coaches (particularly in Europe/Germany and London; and Asia/Japan and Singapore). Grew the worldwide coaching pool to 100+ members spanning the program's initial three years.
  • Designed and conducted on - going development of the worldwide coaching team via regularly scheduled team teleconferences.
  • Helped to customize and administer a 6-month/12 month follow-up mini-survey process to provide feedback and measure perceived changes in leadership behaviors and/or effectiveness.
  • Worked with more than 200 individual leaders on a worldwide basis during over a two and one-half year period.

Impact - More than 200 senior leaders participated in the Executive Coaching Program. Based upon the collective feedback from 2500+ raters/feedback providers to this group, over 95% of these senior leaders were seen as demonstrating positive gains in their leadership roles. Feedback results are very favorable regarding perceptions of improvements in overall leadership effectiveness/credibility, as well as in the development areas targeted by participants.
