Coaching Emerging Talent
The CEO – who had had a successful track record of attracting talented younger staff to his organization – selected Executive Management Systems to develop the emerging talent through a one-on-one coaching program.
Executive Management Systems created a self-directed learning experience, enabled by proven talent models, and worked with the selected emerging leaders to:
- Develop their leadership talent
- Increase their confidence and breadth of thought and action
- Improve personal and organizational effectiveness
Results:
Key outcomes were the development of a personal leadership vision, improved personal and professional focus, and tangible results in team performance.
"This coaching experience exceeded my expectations. I now have a personal leadership vision and focus to align my activities with that vision. I am more strategic in my work focus and I delegate more. I have a clearer self-awareness and team-awareness. I now approach business issues from a position of strength, a higher comfort level in knowing how to approach things to get better results. I’m doing a better job of listening more, talking less, and coaching for performance. Others have noticed. My confidence is up."

"You got me thinking. I now have a written personal leadership vision. My excitement level and short fuse have improved. My co-workers would say the same thing. I take more time and think situations through in more detail. I’m more careful in what I say and gather more facts. I’ve always been fairly good at gathering facts … now I’m much better."
– Senior Manager
"My personal vision and personal focus have sharply improved. My personal results have been even more dramatic. In the last six months, I see things differently. I’m continually integrating skills from leadership development. Others see it in me … I’m less forceful/there is less tension in working relationships. I’m more confident now. When I’m working with the team, I’m comfortable in any situation."
