Why Invest in Coaching?

Smart, highly educated and experienced executives who move into a new role are expected to hit the ground running. Their calendars are already packed with urgent appointments and tasks, and their bosses (whether president, chancellor, provost or board depending on the role) have a list of pressing goals that need to be achieved ASAP. As is often the case, the new leader gets off to a promising start, but then gradually (or even suddenly) her performance veers off track. If a course correction isn't made, it can lead to derailment. Why? The fact is: technical competencies, educational credentials and previous experience in a comparable role are not necessarily predictors of success. Even seasoned administrators who accept new appointments tend to rely too heavily on what has worked in the past and are blindsided by what is different about the new environment.
