President of Human Resources for Ameren Corporation,
it’s clearly a matter of “challenging yourself and your
own thinking.” She says that having a coach “can make the
difference between being a good executive — and a great one.”
To Jim Hahn, who, over 20 years, has built Omni Graphics into
a powerhouse small business centered on rapid delivery of
high-quality printing jobs for dozens, if not hundreds, of other
small businesses, it’s a matter of reaching out to gain
perspective. “I was totally stressed over an employee issue. I
had lost perspective. I was losing days of personal productivity.
With just a few words spoken to me in private, my management
coach set me on a course of thinking that has governed my
business life ever since.”
To Larry Brotzge, who for more than three decades has worked
at the top rungs of financial management and who has served as
both Controller and Chief Financial Officer in Fortune 500
companies, it’s being able to hear “what’s it’s really all about”
when it comes to personal performance. “It means more when
you get direct feedback from a coach who has no other agenda
within the corporation than telling you the truth.”
Executive coaching has evolved from a fad concept into an
established practice that bolsters the best practices of managers
in organizations large and small, in for-profit as well as not-forprofit enterprises. And while there are now many books, tapes,
and articles, the case for personal coaching can be refined into
three compelling arguments.
