Gone are the days when executives are just executives and managers are only managers. Leaders are encouraged, even expected, to develop themselves and to more effectively manage their teams and companies. Workers today put in 50 or more hours per week in their job. Managers and executives tend to make about 400 million business trips in a year resulting in the fact that our lives are consumed by our jobs. In todays fiercely competitive business world we are working longer hours, more than many years ago and we are expected to do more with ever fewer support networks. On top of all this, we encounter endless business issues… making it difficult to keep the focus on the strategic direction of the organization, the management of every individual employee and our own careers. Sometimes we just need support. Coaches today are no longer performance correctors, but performance enhancers. In this episode, we talk about why coaching is essential and what it can do for you and your career.
