High Quality executive coaching provider? The right talent is always in high demand. Employee turnover is ever increasing, especially with the younger workforce. Building a leadership pipeline and planning for succession is becoming an increasingly important part of talent development. For any company, it is essential to identify critical positions and develop a successor. When a dangerous situation is vacant either because of retirement or attrition, there should be a successor in place. If one employee, in a crucial position in the organization, leaves, the talent management team should have an internal replacement who can take up the higher role. Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Leadership Coaching is a talent development program that helps develop specific behavioral skills for the leaders. It delivers measurable leadership growth for the successor, so they are ready to take up higher positions as and when a need arises.
Changing leaders and teams at the same time : The team as a whole articulates one leadership growth area and each team member defines their own leadership growth area that relates to the team focus. This creates an interdependent team effort with a common focus on producing results for their individual effectiveness and team productivity simultaneously.

Furthermore, team members feel comfortable to use feedback and feedforward around the organization to drive change for themselves and their teams.

Why is leadership important? How does it contribute to the success of organizations? Organizations today work in a disruptive and rapidly changing business environment. Does leadership matter in such an environment? Why is leadership important? How does leadership development contribute to the successes of organizations?

In 2004, Marshall Goldsmith and Howard Morgan reviewed a variety of leadership development initiatives in eight large multinational companies. It was a comprehensive study of over 86,000 leaders and executives globally, at these eight multinational companies. Although the desired outcome for all companies was identical – sustained change in behavior at work – they used a variety of tools and approaches. It included classroom-based training vs. on job practice, short-duration training vs. long-term interventions, coaching vs. mentoring, internal trainers and coaches vs. external trainers or coaches, etc.
Some companies regularly conduct so-called leadership training programs. This is to check the boxes and for ISO requirements – how many trainings, how many man-hours, etc. Other companies may have realized that they need to measure impact. Now, most companies measure Kirkpatrick’s first level evaluation – which is jokingly known as the feel-good feedback – whether the participants liked the training or not. A few companies have evolved to the next stage. They realize that “training programs” are NOT having any business impact. Then they opt for long term training intervention instead of just short duration training programs. They add assessments and follow up to help on job behavior change of the leaders. Even then the statistics on the effectiveness of leadership interventions, even those from big named B schools and top-notch vendors, are depressingly low.
Leadership affects almost every aspect of an organization’s performance whether the organization is for-profit, non-profit, political or social. Good leaders make a difference in the world.
