Executive Leadership Coaching

Before: Fragmented Management Team Needs Executive Coaching to Become Effective

“Following a succession of leaders, I took over as CEO of a small non-profit academy of sciences and associated nature museum. While adequate for interim goals, the action plan in place at the time lacked vision and the backing of the board for the long term. In addition to the usual difficulties of integrating into a new culture, I faced an urgent situation with an organization significantly in debt and experiencing a high degree of senior staff turnover.

“I turned to RHR International to facilitate my integration as CEO, the strategic planning of the organization, rebuilding the management team and reviving certain neglected departments. The executive coaching program had to be done under the eye of an active, powerful board of directors, some of whom had extensive business experience and others who had somewhat less experience, but tremendous amounts of passion.”

After: CEO Reinvents Non-Profit Through Executive Coaching
 

“We developed a Profile of Success™ that described the behaviors the senior executives needed to lead the organization to solvency and a greater vision of supporting nature in the city.

“Assessments were conducted with the senior team to determine the fit between desired leadership behaviors and current performance. Executive development plans were designed to provide clear road maps of how they could acquire skills needed to improve the organization’s sense of strategic purpose and its financial outlook.

“Today, the CEO has a well defined vision for her own growth and integration, a stable team of executives who can effectively execute the strategic plan, and an executive development program aligned with the current business needs. Executive coaching continues as we work with the CEO, senior team, and board of directors to agree upon a fully aligned strategic direction for the next three to five years.”
