Executive coaching firms are providing the guidance needed by many professionals who have seemingly reached a plateau in their careers, but have higher goals. A major premise of the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” book series, by Robert Kiyosaki, is that people need to be re-educated about work and money because the public school system is designed to raise up workers, not creative thinkers and entrepreneurs. Similar themes have been espoused by both entrepreneurs and education theorists alike.
Entrepreneurs are often tremendously successful in business after dropping out or failing out of school. They are the ones for whom thinking outside the box comes naturally. And apparently it is a part of their nature that cannot be overridden by systematic training and “staying in the box.”
Public schools are required to comply with state standards that are not necessarily set by educators, and are certainly not based on relevancy to the lives of the children that they affect. And how are schools judged? By their students’ results on standardized tests. Education theorists can show you more flaws in this system than you can shake a stick at.
As long as education, in the early years as well as through the university system, follows this pattern, there will be a need for executive coaching firms. A college education can include management training, and give graduates many tools to use on the job even in an executive capacity, but what it doesn’t provide is a structure for an individual to follow to get to the top of the corporate ladder.
Executive coaching consulting is so necessary because most people know how to work and how to perform their particular job, but not how to navigate corporate structure and how to get what they want from it. There is also a lot of personal work that executive coaching consulting can help with.
Fear not; this is not about your private life or family history. The self examination required when working with an executive coaching consultancy is more along the lines of strengths and weaknesses that affect your ability to reach your own goals. It has been proven over and over again that working with a coach yields better results, much faster than trying to sort out these things on your own.
Often the aspiring executive’s worst enemy is his or her own mind. Self-sabotage can be very subtle and even good habits carried forth from early childhood about how we treat others, how to behave, and the value of modesty can be throat-slitters in the corporate world. That’s not to imply that coaching puts you on a Machiavellian track. Far from it, as ethics and integrity are keys to personal and professional success.
Rather, it’s the niceties – like don’t take the last piece of cake, don’t be first in line, and don’t, heaven forbid, speak your mind – that are often the undoing of a rising star. It’s not easy to restructure basic behaviors, which is why there are coaches.
Successful results produced by Executive Coaching Firms are driven primarily by a leader’s partnership with stakeholders and their ability to obtain feedback, evaluate it, and act upon it.
