Summary
In today’s fast paced business world, C-level executives continue to face a variety of challenges, and are under more scrutiny than ever.
In its January/February 2007 issue, Chief Executive magazine highlights several challenges today’s executives are facing, including the needs to interact with a wider range of audiences, tolerate intense pressure and scrutiny, champion ethics and integrity, and more.
Is the C-team using coaches to help tackle issues like these?
And are coaches able to help keep these executives at the top?
According to a Manchester Inc. study – they are. The study found companies are more likely to retain executives who have been coached.
Our guests discuss these topics and more, focusing on what it takes to stay on top.
Highlights of the show include:
- The impact of visibility and exposure on C-level behavior and performance.
- How self actualization contributes to C-level success.
- Why adaptability is such an important skill for executives.
- How to be a role model for change – and why publicly stating “I’m trying to improve” isn’t a bad thing.
- The ROI companies are realizing in retaining coaches for executives.
