Executive Coaching

Did you know that Executive Coaching has a 5.7 times Return on Investment (ROI)?
—The Manchester Review, 6(1), 1-9

Executive Coaching brings a qualified business coach together with an individual (executive, manager, or contributor) to address and solve specific organizational challenges. Typically, once the contractual agreements are arranged, the coach assesses the situation. The Bader Group coaches customize multi-rater feedback surveys, utilize state-of-the-art assessments, and conduct interviews, to lay the ground work for coaching. Our coaching is based on the goals of the participant in the context of his or her leadership challenges and the organization’s expectations.

Executive Coaching is a powerful and effective method for leaders under these conditions:

  • Clear contract and purpose for the coaching
  • Commitment and motivation of the client
  • Clear goals
  • Confidentiality
  • Organizational support and cooperation
  • Use of practical resources such as Coaches’ E-Library

How do I know if executive coaching is right for me and my organization?

It is time to retain an executive coach in transitions, during change, for opportunities, and when roadblocks limit effectiveness, for example:

  • Career frustration
  • Interpersonal conflicts
  • Disagreement with boss
  • Special performance barriers
  • After a 360 assessment
  • Change in scope of a job
  • Growth of division or company
  • Promotion
  • Political barriers
  • Change in strategy
  • Increase or decrease in staff

The Bader Group coaching successes over 15 years include:

  • Preparing an operations manager to take the role of a CEO, leading the organization to financial success
  • Assisting a high potential individual contributor in navigating organizational politics that led her to influence decision making
  • Guiding a new manager to take the lead in an international branch office, improving operations and staff morale
  • Providing feedback to founders of a dotcom who re-established new roles and responsibilities
  • Building confidence in a talented, but self-critical high performer who then delegated certain operational tasks, allowing him to focus on strategy
  • Challenging an entrepreneur to move his organization to expand by introducing a management structure that allowed the company to double in size
