Dispelling The Myths On Executive Coaching Minneapolis

By Gary Phillips


If you are not familiar with this new concept you might easily confuse it with professional advice that is got from other sources. This explains why there are so many myths surrounding the concept of executive coaching Minneapolis. It is usually an exceptional type of personal leadership development and below are some explanations on the myths that dog this concept.

There are people who believe that this type of coaching takes up a lot of time but this is not entirely true as it depends on the point of view you hold. As an executive you value your time a lot and you can only create time to do things that add value to your personal development and organization. The sessions usually take about six weeks and are tailored to take place at your work place and at flexible timing to avoid time wastage at all.

There is the myth that states that it is difficult for you to measure the overall outcome of this executive coaching to your organization. This is farther from the truth as it is not always possible for all outcomes to be predictable or measurable as they are based on explorations and discovery. This makes it hard to predict how the outcome will be as it is your human nature involved and it is not predictable.

Most people believe that the executives who are successful at what they do have no time for this coaching. This is not true as even if you are an executive with companies ranked in the top 100 you will still need to have your executive coaches. They help in building on to your current talent as well as unlocking your latent talent since everyone has a room for improvement.

There is also the assumption that you and most other people could have that everybody is coachable but it is not a true fact as some are more coachable when compared to others. The coaching usually works if you have an open mind and have the will to change. You should always gauge the coachability of your employees before the coaching begins.

Most people believe that this whole concept is premised on a coach telling you how you are supposed to run your business. This is absolutely not the way it goes as the coach only provides assistance on your ideas and not on how to run your own business. They offer different perspectives or insights into an existing situation and then you decide whether to use them or not.

You could be thinking that executive coaching is just another management fad just like other people out there believe. This is certainly not the case as it has been in existent for the last 20 years albeit in many guises. Its demand and popularity has just increased as businesses try to adjust to the harsh economic times being experienced currently but it is not a passing fad.

It is possible that you consider this concept to be an expensive affair. Consider that in coaching your executives are guided by the coach on how to apply what they learn to the benefit of your organization unlike in training where they are left on their own. This has the immediate impact of making more money for your organization making it more of an investment than a cost.
