Research Shows 3X Greater Business Impact is Generated by Leaders Who Coach and Develop Employees
Bersin & Associates, a premier research and consulting firm, found that senior leaders who coach and hold others accountable for coaching are three times more effective at producing improved business and talent results than those who do not.
Specifically, the Bersin & Associates study found that:
- Senior leaders frequently fail to model effective coaching. Only 11% of senior leaders regularly coach their employees.
- Managers lack the necessary skills to coach their employees, and this presents the most severe challenge to effective management of employee performance.
- Organizations that are effective at teaching managers to coach deliver higher levels of employee productivity, employee engagement and financial performance.
At most organizations there is a disconnect between the intended purpose of performance management and the reality.
Companies want goal alignment but more often focus entirely on performance appraisal. Leadership coaching raises the morale, trust and performance of everyone involved. This is why executive coaching has such a huge impact.

– Participant and End User
We invested in teaching all of our leaders to become better coaches using the Coach2Lead program. We wanted to foster our culture and values that have made us successful with our clients for years. Many of our leaders have been with us for decades and they know and embody what we call The Anderson Way. While masters in their craft, they may not have had the communication and leadership skills needed to pass on their legacy to the next level and down to the front line. As employers, we felt responsible for investing in our team’s leadership and communications skills in a holistic way to set them up for success and get everyone on the same page. That is why we brought in this leadership development approach. Our leaders very quickly embraced the program, once they saw how practical and aligned it was with the way we have always done things here. Now, they can pass on their legacy and we all benefit from more employee engagement, retention of talent, and better results and performance.

It can be very challenging to create a high performing team of leaders spread across seven countries. They were able to customize a program that everyone was happy and comfortable with. I would not hesitate to utilize their services again!! They are exceptional!
