Can Coaching Really Make a Difference in Organization Development?

Executive Coaching assists in establishing the structure needed for coordinating business success!

The Challenge

John was the leader of an organization where prior to the economic downturn, and the ensuing tough times, they had established a track record of success. Year after year saw “best ever” record setting sales levels, which were accompanied by organizational growth. However, when the economy starting deflating in the fall of 2008, John saw that there were going to be challenges in the not so distant future. While he was comfortable with his products and level of service, he was uncertain if his associates were going to be able to “dig deep” enough to continue on their “best ever” pace. In short, were the people that got him “here” going to be able to get him “there” (Wherever “there” was)?

The Solution

John called in the coaches at Pathos Leadership Group to coach his senior leadership. Pathos designed a platform of:

§ Assessing the current employees regarding current strengths/weaknesses

§ Identifying business success skills necessary

§ Presenting to Leadership a comparison between current employee skills versus those necessary for future growth

§ An Organization Development strategy and accompanying Training & Development Action Plan

§ A schedule of success assessment meeting to determine progress/regress towards organization goals

§ Executive Coaching for the senior leadership

§ Organization Onsite Training in the form of Workshops, Seminars and eLearning sessions

§ Associate Coaching to ensure that training and development sessions were being properly implemented in the organization

Additionally, Pathos established a Recruiting Strategy with organization leadership in order to “fill” any/all of the identified gaps in skills.

The Results

John’s organization was able to grow during the economic downturn. While many of his competitors were scaling back their operations, he was able to grow his. John was also able to grow his senior leadership, as well as associates within the organization. This lead less stress, pressure and executive fatigue.
