With Executive Coaching Puerto Rico Companies Become More Competitive

By Paul Long


The pace of change is staggering and many companies struggle to keep up with developments, trends and consumer needs. Only those companies that changes as the environment changes can hope to survive and grow in the modern business environment. This requires innovative thinking and the ability to anticipate consumer demands and technological developments. This can only be achieved with excellent leadership. By means of executive coaching Puerto Rico businesses strive to achieve just that.

Numerous studies into the characteristics of highly successful companies have shown that they all have one thing in common. They all boast leaders that are visible, that lead instead of drive, that embraces change and that are visibly firm believers in the products and services of their own companies. Leaders like these not only inspire their employees, but their enthusiasm also help to convince consumers to be loyal to that brand.

Contrary to popular believe, great leadership is not an accident of birth. Leadership is nurtured and directed. Really great leaders continually strive to learn and to grow both personally and professionally. They listen to other people and they are quick to admit when they are wrong. When leadership potential is discovered, many companies appoint coaches to help potential leaders to grow and to develop the skills great leaders need. Such companies see the cost of this coaching as an investment in.

Some companies realize that it is all too easy to settle into a rut. Once managers stagnate, the entire company inevitably stagnates as well. Coaches are often hired to help managers at all levels to become more aware of the changes that occur daily. They need to embrace such change and in some cases they even need to initiate change. Coaches can help managers to overcome lethargy and to develop a love of dynamic change.

In many other instances the role of the coach is to act as a sounding board. They allow managers and leaders to verbalize their ideas in a safe, non threatening environment. The coach can help his client to fine tune his ideas and to examine the potential consequences of intended action. In such cases the role of the coach is to act as devils advocate.

Coaches can even help clients to overcome serious obstacles such as sexism, racism, bully behaviour and an inability to communicate effectively. Traits such as these can put an end to an otherwise very promising career as a leader. The coach can help his client to face the obstacle and to achieve long term change. In such cases the coaching sessions are often viewed as highly confidential.

Many coaches specialize in very specific area. When appointing a coach, it is therefore important to make sure that he has experience in helping his clients to achieve the goals that need to be achieved. He should be able to submit valid references and he must be able to explain exactly how he plans to help the client achieve its goals.

Top coaches earn large fees. However, companies that use them realize that the fees they pay for these services will pay huge dividends in the long term. Coaches have helped many companies to become more competitive and to gain a reputation for creativity and innovation.
