Questions and Answers
Q: What are the most commonly used methods for developing senior leaders? How do I determine which methods are best for my organization?
A. Leadership development programs typically focus on growing leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities to improve organizational performance and on preparing high-potential employees to replace key players. Three methods are commonly used for developing senior leaders: Formal classroom, or web based training, etc.), individualized development (360-degree feedback, coaching, mentoring, assessment, etc.), and job assignment (job rotation, special developmental projects, etc.).
Q. Why does executive coaching work?
A. Most people hire an executive coach because they want to achieve something, fix something or make an important change in their life. This fact is an important key to why executive coaching works; adult leaders learn best when they are motivated by a real life challenge. Optimal learning for adults is self-motivated and self-directed, and has immediate practical application.
