Many others approach executive coaching by focusing on the behaviors and traits of individual managers. EXCN delves deeper. We start with the organization’s values, mission, and goals. EXCN then helps executives to align the behavior and performance that best serves the company’s needs.
Strategic Executive Coaching® has proven effective for more than 15 years, since inception. We have utilized it in successful engagements with numerous clients spanning diverse industries around the world.
Strategic Executive Coaching® involves three phases:
1Contracting and Leadership Analysis is the foundation. It includes establishing objectives, then assessing the behavior of leaders relative to these objectives. Customized assessment tools, confidential feedback interviews, and collaboration among client representatives and coaches are the methods used in this phase.
Strategic Leadership Development
The performance of CEOs and executive teams is a key driver of an organization’s success. EXCN’s Strategic Leadership Development (SLD) helps leaders create a values-based environment where people can perform to their full potential. This integrated process uses feedback and coaching to empower leaders to:
- Align individuals and teams to a strategic vision.
- Build awareness of key factors impacting the organization’s effectiveness.
- Create a culture of candor, trust, transparency, accountability, and performance.
- Become nimble, adaptable, and responsive leaders.
Strategic Leadership Development can be conducted at the organizational or departmental level.
Clients may choose from one or more phases of SLD:
- Strategic Leadership Audit (SLA) provides a comprehensive analysis of the current leadership and situation. This phase identifies changes needed to improve performance.
- Leadership Development Program designs and implements an integrated strategy addressing the results of the SLA analysis.
- Follow-up and Sustainability. Sustaining success is a fixed, formal process of SLD. EXCN works with clients in determining the best methods for maintaining improvements, far into the future.
