What
can coaching do for your company and its leaders?
Companies often wonder why training is quickly forgotten and
rarely implemented. Training delivered outside of the culture
and expectations of the companies is missing the point and unable
to give the return on investment (ROI) companies expect for their
investment.
If you could increase productivity by 88 percent, would it be worth
the investment?
One study, by Public Personnel Management Magazine (Winter 1997),
for example, found that training alone increased productivity
by 22.4 percent. But when followed up with coaching, the figure
soared to 88 percent.*
Coaching fosters the knowing/doing link, in part because people
only retain 10 percent of what they hear, 30 percent of what they
see and hear, but up to 80 percent of what they experience and
discuss.

1997
If
you could get an ROI on coaching that was six times your investment,
would it be worth it?
People can go to training but unless it is linked to the corporate
culture and the specific performance expectations of the individual,
the return is minimal. However, a recent survey by the Manchester
Group measured the ROI of 100 managers and executives of Fortune
1000 companies who received customized Executive Coaching. The
survey found customized corporate coaching to return an average
of six times the cost of the coaching program with an average
estimated savings exceeding $100,000.
Team coaching helps increase both individual and team performance.
What
are the results you want when you invest your training dollars?
If you want lasting change, then a program that synthesizes training
and coaching will achieve:
