Comp. Leadership Self-Assessment PDF - measure yourself on 7 levels of success: http://t.co/rD8DY6XA
Change won't happen unless it's embraced at the top yet many leaders keep investing in personal executive coaching for only their 2nd and 3rd tier leaders. CEO coaching is the best entry point for executive coaching consultants.
The benefits of executive coaching are well documented. The data is clear that coaching at the leading edge, like an Olympian coaches, is the most effective investment in coaching fees. But for the exective there's a critical difference: s/he has to not only lead self and others but we now know that a leader's ability to create a culture in which all others thrive is the key to ultimate success. One of the most effective ways to create a culture of vitality is by hiring a personal executive coach who is certified to implement the Barrett Cultural Transformation Tools (CTT's).
The CTT's measure 7 levels of leadership and 7 levels of organizational development and they quantify culture. These tools are unique in the world because they are data driven and values driven - a rare combination. Executive coaching is far more effective when it's grounded in solid measurments of a leader's impact on the organizational culture. And, when the current and desired cultures are measured and reflected back to the leader, the tools provide a roadmap for leading the way.
The CTT's begin with a 15 - 20 minute online survey for anywhere from 5 to 60,000 stakeholders. The survey itself is elegantly simple - the most profound things are. But the intelligence behind the tools creates in-depth reports with quite a few plots, graphs and charts and highly insightful and usable interpretations.
CTT's are the most effective and efficient way to build a solid leadership platform. Using them as a jumping off place for executive development coaching is a powerful, objective way to hit the ground running. And, because the measurements are clear yet empowering, when they are re-applied to track development they continue to enhance performance.
That's because they don't measure success as an endgame or in standard myopic quarterly numbers. They help redefine success so that it becomes a more robust dynamic within the organization - a shared vision that comes to fruition through values-driven leadership.
