Few executives have achieved their positions without some professional coaching
along the way. In fact, a recent study of leadership development at a Fortune
500 company showed that the coaching portion of the program achieved significant
benefits - tangible and intangible - for both the participants and their
organizations.
Decision-making skills, productivity and employee satisfaction (both in terms
of participants and their teams) were among the numerous positive outcomes of
the coaching program. Additionally, work output, work quality and customer
satisfaction (which led to improved financials) were identified as resulting
improvements.
