In a 2013 Stanford Business School Survey, Nearly 100% of CEOs responded that they enjoy the process of receiving coaching and leadership advice.
The combination of high-impact leadership coaching and available peer cohorts are the antidote for bad decisions and isolation. The loneliness nearly all CEOs experience at the top of the organization is not only palpable, it lowers performance, negatively impacts health, reduces the joy you get out of life.
Coaching is proven to enhance performance, drive better decision-making, reduce professional stress and cultivate the joy found in fostering better relationships and accomplishing more of what matters. This elevates personal satisfaction as well as professional success.
Why ALPS Leadership?
Our proven team of Leadership Coaches each have more than 10,000 hours of experience working with CEOs and other high-level executives. Our coaches get measurable results by combining socratic investigation with relevant mentoring derived from rigorous training, experiential business acumen, and cultivated awareness acquired over many years of coaching experience.
Our coaching methodology focuses on creating a deep understanding of challenges, issues, and the strengths needed to address and execute pragmatic solutions by identifying and challenging assumptions, detecting blind spots, and fostering accountability.
While highly effective, we have found that stand-along coaching drives significantly enhanced results when combined with participation in our expertly facilitated Leadership Peer Cohorts. Ongoing monthly sessions with trusted peers in a safe environment foster increased insight, broadened perspective, accelerated learning, and greater accountability – acting as a performance and results multiplier. More than 50 years of demonstrated results from this combination modality confirm that our approach works.
The private coaching we offer online is equally effective as face-to-face sessions and offers greatly enhanced scheduling flexibility and geographic reach while enabling us to make the cost of ongoing coaching relationships more economical.
Our Programs Deliver High-Performance Results
The research conducted by Robert Anderson and William Adams at Harvard Business School clearly correlates the effectiveness of leadership with an organization’s performance. The best way to enhance performance and realize extraordinary business results is to develop your leadership potential – and the potential of your team. Leadership is critical to making average-performing companies into high-performance organizations.
High-Performance Organizations (HPOs) are those that do what they are built to do better than any other —and continuously improve and adapt to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage.
HPOs all share two defining qualities:
- They manage the things that matter to execute objectives at a consistently high level and
- They are highly effective at leading people to ensure that these things are managed well.
The critical path to performance is guided by:
- Rigorous preparation that drives competence in all necessary tasks
- Conscientious engagement throughout all levels of the organization that informs the grit that is demonstrated by people
- pushing beyond perceived limitations and expanding their potential
- recognizing what they don’t know and need to
- learning what is relevant to their performance of their roles
- taking responsibility for their own performance and the performance of those around them
The ALPS Leadership approach to turning average companies into HPOs focuses on developing the critical competencies that drive exceptional leadership.
We accomplish this in three ways:
- Leadership Coaching – for those on the leadership team
- Leadership Cohorts – for peer-to-peer support
- Leadership Development – to expand leadership competencies throughout the organization – from managers and team leaders to customer-facing employees.
