From the depth of research, we have a better idea of what executive coaching is. Now we can examine the benefits. In an article by Simpson (2010), they found that coachees in positions of leadership experienced a variety of perceived benefits:
- improved personal skills and behavior
- more considered work-life balance
- better decision making
- improved interpersonal skills
- better career planning
- increased confidence
- enhanced self-awareness
Simpson (20100) following a case study methodology, also determined that the company experienced many benefits. The 2000+ employee company saw the following results:
- better organizational development
- increased value for the money spent
- day-to-day networking and flexibility improved
- retention of quality team members improved
- stronger recruiting position due to a perception of valued, strong leadership
- improved performance
- better risk management
Bozer & Sarros (2012) state that “executive coaching may be a mechanism by which executives could be helped in improving and maintaining a high level of career satisfaction.”
