Abstract

The problem that confronts every organization is that no one is perfect—no one. This includes CEOs, top executives, and, yes, senior HR professionals. As result, there are occasions when the behavior or the performance of a member of the C-Suite may not be optimal or effective. In these instances, the executive in question is likely to benefit from the advice, counsel, and suggestions an objective but interested observer may give. This process is often known as “coaching.” The ultimate goal of any coaching effort is to improve the effectiveness of the other person in their current or future roles, especially if the role involves leadership of an organization. In my experience, effective coaching is a business skill that can be employed to enhance an executive’s s performance and assist other employees in the organization at all levels.
