Executive Coaching

Did you know that Executive Coaching has been found to have a 5.7 times Return on Investment (ROI)?

—The Manchester Review, 6(1), 1-9

Executive Coaching brings a qualified business coach together with an individual (executive, manager, or individual contributor) to address and solve specific organizational and leadership challenges.  Typically, once the contractual agreements are arranged, the coach collaborates with the participant to assess his or her motivations, challenges, and organizational context.  To lay the groundwork for a successful coaching engagement, The Bader Group customizes multi-rater feedback surveys, stakeholder interviews and utilize state-of-the-art assessments.  Often, valuable data exists in an organization’s survey results (employee, customer, patient, etc.) and the participant’s performance objectives.  Our coaching is based on the goals of the participant in the context of his or her leadership challenges and the organization’s expectations.
