Executive Coaching

Today, leaders are challenged to perform and excel in areas far beyond their existing knowledge or expertise.  This challenge requires people who are alert, inventive, ready and eager to learn – people who are flexible in the face of change, and who bring spirit and imagination to resolve tough problems and “impossible” situations.

 

For most of us, the skills that have succeeded so far are no longer sufficient for the times.  Today, leaders are recognized not for know-how or experience, but for the ability to bring vision, meaning and purpose to the workplace; to inspire creativity, commitment and enthusiasm; to build an environment that honors diversity, fosters excellence, and nourishes the people who work there.  They are called upon to effect a continuing transformation for themselves and their organizations.


For those who have taken such a leadership role, The Taylor Group offers regular, individual coaching designed to grapple with the real issues – both practical and far-reaching – facing leaders today.

 

We address the full range of complex issues and events that confront leaders in organizations today.  These include:

 

·          Defining or delivering on a far-reaching mission

·          Addressing personal concerns around downsizing, expansion or diversity

·          Building an effective and cohesive team

·          Dealing with significant change in the larger community, or in the culture of the organization

·          Resolving conflicts within teams, or between management and staff

·          Meeting challenges posed by new leadership or staff

·          Handling breakdowns in productivity, communication or morale

·          Assisting individuals in resolving difficulties that affect initiative or enthusiasm for the job

 

In these and similar situations, The Taylor Group is skilled at building a trusting environment, and eliciting open and spirited participation.

 

In response to the needs of each organization, The Taylor Group provides immediate intervention, structured work sessions, and leadership coaching and support designed to free up and expand the natural capacities of the people involved.

 

Our senior consultants work with key leaders to identify the significant issues or opportunities facing the organization.  Together we structure a program that addresses the organizational or individual needs at appropriate levels, in a practical framework, over a realistic period of time.
