High Quality executive coaching services? The right talent is always in high demand. Employee turnover is ever increasing, especially with the younger workforce. Building a leadership pipeline and planning for succession is becoming an increasingly important part of talent development. For any company, it is essential to identify critical positions and develop a successor. When a dangerous situation is vacant either because of retirement or attrition, there should be a successor in place. If one employee, in a crucial position in the organization, leaves, the talent management team should have an internal replacement who can take up the higher role. Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Leadership Coaching is a talent development program that helps develop specific behavioral skills for the leaders. It delivers measurable leadership growth for the successor, so they are ready to take up higher positions as and when a need arises.
In the TEAM coaching process, team members supporting each other as stakeholders and coaches, while implementing their action plans to make change visible. This program is ideally suited for leaders and their (cross-functional / project) teams to measurably change their individual and collective effectiveness. This happens while they lead and develop their teams, and at the same time develop their coaching skills to further role out this coaching process with their direct reports. TEAM coaching can be a very effective and cost-efficient way to grow leaders, change teams and develop the organizational culture.
The leaders ask each stakeholder to give her a couple of suggestions to improve in these 1-2 areas that he can implement in the next month. The leader compiles all the suggestions from stakeholders, decides to pick 2-3 suggestions, and implements the change during the month. Next month, she goes back to the stakeholders and asks for feedback for her improved behavior during the last month and more suggestions to implement in the coming month. This process continues for the period of the entire year. About every quarter, the stakeholders are given an anonymous survey to rate the leader’s improvement in these 1-2 areas. Although the process seems simple, Marshall Goldsmith’s stakeholder centered coaching is one of the most effective methods of changing the leader’s on-job behavior and stakeholder’s perception of the leader.
Is leadership important to an organization’s performance? What is the relationship between the performance of an organization and the quality of its leadership? This is the question that I will try to answer in this article. How much of your capability or potential do you get to use at work? If we count your total potential at 100%, how much of it do you get to use at your job? Is it 10%? 25%? 50%? 90%? Or a full 100%? Think about it for a moment and just give the number that comes to mind. What is your answer? Over the years, I have asked this question to thousands of participants who have gone through my leadership training or coaching programs – and the average comes to roughly 50%!

Most leadership development programs in India and worldwide are a waste of time! An estimated $62 billion was spent worldwide on leadership development initiatives in 2014. And yet, the numbers on the effectiveness of leadership development programs is both shocking and depressing. The primary reason for the ineffectiveness or failure of leadership development initiatives is the fact that there is a fundamental problem with most of them. Read my article to find out this fundamental flaw- Why leadership training fails and the fail-safe solution for it.
Some companies regularly conduct so-called leadership training programs. This is to check the boxes and for ISO requirements – how many trainings, how many man-hours, etc. Other companies may have realized that they need to measure impact. Now, most companies measure Kirkpatrick’s first level evaluation – which is jokingly known as the feel-good feedback – whether the participants liked the training or not. A few companies have evolved to the next stage. They realize that “training programs” are NOT having any business impact. Then they opt for long term training intervention instead of just short duration training programs. They add assessments and follow up to help on job behavior change of the leaders. Even then the statistics on the effectiveness of leadership interventions, even those from big named B schools and top-notch vendors, are depressingly low.
