If coaching is so effective and so many organizations do it, what kind of return on their investment are they seeing that helps them justify doing a coaching program that I’m not seeing? Further, how do they even measure the impact? My organization takes an interesting approach to developing their high-potential employees. We let them spend some one-on-one time with our CEO to work on solving an organizational problem. While that’s always a neat experience, we’re not really seeing a return on our investment. Do you think that we’re not identifying the right people or should we expand our CEO outreach program to be more than just a few hours with the head of the company? 1 Tip for Leaders at Full Strength: Jack and Scott each share one thing leaders can do today to increase their effectiveness to “full strength”.
