Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. – Arnold Palmer
It has long been accepted that to be the best, sports men and women need the very best sports coaches. More recently the business community has embraced coaching as a means of improving performance. Now the best organisational leaders are employing the skills of the best executive coaches. Organisations which embrace a coaching philosophy throughout are constantly appearing on the annual lists of top performers and best companies to work for.
Research suggests that through the implementation of high impact coaching techniques organisational leaders will maximise individual, team and organisational performance. By enhancing employee motivation, productivity, and reducing the number of mistakes made at every level of organisations there is a direct impact on the bottom line. Ninety two percent of respondents in a CIPD (2004) survey said that coaching can increase profits.
