Organizational Coaching is a Powerful Tool

Coaching To Manage and Resolve Organizational Conflict

“The success of a company is dependent nine parts on management and one part on all other factors, including luck.”

That’s rule #1 from Barron’s recently published Ten Rules for Investors. And yet, a cook for a fast food chain receives more developmental support and training than most people holding leadership positions (McKinsey, 2003). We often hear that an organization’s most valuable asset is its people. Yet in some organizations, this may be an under-developed asset.

Is There Untapped Potential Within Your Organization?

Talented people crave the opportunity to grow. Our coaching can help your organization grow great leaders by providing them with candid feedback, opportunities to learn new skills and behaviors, and an accountability structure.

Increasing and enhancing communication between managers, direct reports and teams (including geographically dispersed teams, see group coaching in organizations below)
Increasing employee satisfaction and retention
Enhancing performance and results

Organization and team coaching services

Internal Group Coaching

Small groups (8-10) of your executives around the globe join together on a telephone bridge line every other week to share best practices and ideas to enhance their performance. Participants benefit from the combined wisdom of their peers (often decades of collective intelligence on each call) as well as the Executive Coach. The result is accelerated change and better ideas quickly integrated and distributed world-wide. Internal group coaching works especially well with dispersed sales representatives, especially when combined with emotional intelligence tele-classes!

Coaching to Support Organizational Change

What is the cost of not moving smoothly and efficiently through a change initiative? Our organizational coaching provides a platform where individuals can discuss challenges, concerns and appropriate actions to support the organization’s change process.

M & A Coaching

Somewhere between 60 and 75 percent of all mergers fail to achieve their financial goals. What’s more, there is typically a 50 percent drop-off in organizational productivity during the initial stages of a merger or acquisition (Achieving Post-Merger Success, Carleton & Lineberry, 2004). CEO Partnership worked on the recent Hewlett Packard - Compaq merger, one of the most successful corporate mergers in history. Working with associates in the Vector Group, Dr. Belsten engaged in an international cultural due diligence process to supplement hp’s financial and legal due diligence processes. HP executives credit our process with helping to ensure the successful merger.

Sales Leader Development Coaching

Our sales coaching offers two benefits: 1) we utilize Emotional Intelligence (EI) tools and practices; and 2) we customize our coaching to support the efforts of sales leaders and teams. We focus on sales productivity and understanding the customer at a deeper level, as well as on helping individuals and teams achieve revenue goals and sales performance objectives.

Coaching to Manage and Resolve Organizational Conflict

Conflict costs U.S. companies and organizations billions of dollars a year in lost productivity. With extensive training and background in negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution, Dr. Belsten creates conflict management and resolution coaching interventions in partnership with her clients to reduce the cost of conflict and create a healthier, more productive work place.

Team Coaching

CEO Partnership specializes in building strong, high-performing teams. All team buildings are not the same. If you’re looking for a “Lost on the Moon” team adventure, or outdoors ropes courses, we can refer you to other firms. However, if you want your teams to have more focus, greater alignment and commitment to goals, an explicit charter containing sound decision-making processes, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, a shared vision of team and organizational success, agreed-upon team guidelines, and techniques for managing the inevitable conflicts that arise, CEO Partnership is the firm to call. We work to support a collaborative and supportive team environment together with principled team leadership.
