Executive Coaching Questions & Answers
What are some questions to ask before considering executive coaching?
- What is the challenge being faced or the developmental goals for the executive?
- Is it worth the time? All executives have faults and they will never be perfect. Coaching and behavioral change take time and support.
- What happens if there is no coaching? Are there other developmental options to consider?
- Does the executive know his/her behavior is not what it should be? Sometimes people just need to be made aware of the situation.
- Is the desired outcome something the person is capable of? If the person is truly not suited for the position, coaching probably won’t help much.
- Are there obstacles to success that are beyond the person’s control? It may be necessary to change the system instead of the employee.
- Are the incentives in place shaping the behavior? Do positive rewards follow good performance?
- Can trust and confidentiality be ensured by all participants in the process?
