More than ever, businesses today are in an increasingly competitive war for talent. There are simply not enough people to fill the millions of job openings that exist.
That is why smart companies are putting more and more investment into recruitment, development and retention of their current staff.
Technical skill alone, will not lead to success. Today’s business leaders need skills beyond those typically provided by our education system. Skills like emotional intelligence, executive presence, communicating, managing difficult people and conversations, building high-performance teams, team motivation, critical thinking and strategic planning and negotiation.
You can get these skills through years of experience, attending forgetful seminars, or through utilization of a seasoned executive coach. There is data that suggest that executive coaching can have a return-on-investment (ROI) of almost 788%. All top performing companies now utilize some form of executive coaching to facilitate leadership development.
