...in our operating principles:

clarity: The focus of each Executive Coaching is on Recognizing and Developing Strengths. Weaknesses in the key competencies section (appearance, communication, conflict handling skills, etc) are then with all the consequences to address, if the breakthrough of Strengths and a personal Progress prevent.
the
mindfulness: managers must not only to the changing markets, but also to their "human world" disinterested attention (= awareness). That is why every Executive Coaching always "Wahrnehmungsschulung" to itself (keyword: Life-Balance), to the employees and the other stakeholders.
the
Integriertheit: Each Executive Coaching  is supposed to be a more conscious design of his own Leadership role in the reconciliation with the personal Strengths and values. "Tools" alone bring little: Success is the Coaching and training process, and only then, if the Whole person is integrated. Thus, from Tools real tools!

...with precisely defined properties, there are not!
the
the Following factors, which is also reflected in our Business Coaching work again and again as key in making the turn out - could nevertheless be identified:
the

...efficient way and new way to gain skills. the
the
Who is the target audience? the
target group of Executive Coaching are qualified, predominantly as "knowledge workers" working people (Teams, organizations), their tasks in responsible positions in society, economy and administration.
the
What can Coaching?
In addition to the specific Training lack of Führungsskills helps Coaching, from a certain level in the hierarchy of any organization essential system error trap. The following bugs are, in my opinion, is inherent in the system:
the
(a) The Problem of closeness and distance
Higher management positions require their carriers, unternehmenspolitisch-strategic role definition, which does not at any time too great human proximity to the staff to be characterized. the
the
Even if it is unlikely someone dares to say, it is a fact: in Addition to the proven motivationssteigernden "near"  have managers in their Leadership role again and again a certain distance to one's own subjective notions about interpersonal-social Idealverhalten in the service of "higher" firm-specific goals muster. the
the
example: A leader of the upper management must without Hesitation and without him, paralysierende depressed mood to fall due to economically compelling circumstances human problematic Decisions, such as layoffs, in a reasonable period of time. the
the
b) the Problem of sovereignty
In the center of each Führungsmandats is for every Manager is always the Propaganda of their own sovereignty. Sovereignty is when a behavior is understood, which is Guided in a world full of ambiguities safety through clarity gives. The cause of this desire for independence, probably due to the nature of the Led itself, because you always hope that it is the Mandated "in the worst case to judge" because it's the "right way to know".
the
Provocative hypothesis: managers are not (only) are selected, because they are with their mandate-related tasks professionally best able to cope with, but because they have the ability to "security-radiating" to do so, as if you had the required professional skills.
the
You need to this, one of them even often diffuse as a "lie" perceived behavior convincing (!) to the Outside, can live. You can do this, they are, paradoxically, this is precisely able to confidently lead!
the
Executive Coaching provides an excellent opportunity, with these fields of tension to deal with.
the
Executive coaching is A profession of the future?
the job of The Executive Coach as process consultants in situations where there is no obvious "08/15-solution" is, in my opinion, in the future, is of enormous social importance.
the
This is because it is simply the most effective method is to lack of Skills to acquire and from a distance with a competent sparring partner, the own blind spots to shrink, and so on (leadership) skills become richer.

Coaching The Trendsurfer
Coaching is "in". for Example, take many consultants, even if your service is nothing to do with Coaching has to do the trendy "executives Executive Coaching" in their Portfolio. Everybody wants in on the coattails riding. Therefore, there is on the market for customers is hardly a glance cash offer. Many of the offers are good. Some are, however, highly unprofessional, and bring in the customers.

professionalization!
In the foreseeable future, in the Anglo-American region is the development of already more advanced – it is a professionalization. It will be a clear separation of skilled and customer-oriented coaches, on the one hand, and on the own self-realization, are considered a “Life-styles Gurus“ on the other hand.

...borders and the environment is therefore often incapable of experiencing.
the
Promoted and sometimes overwhelmed
the
The affected executives even noted that leadership in addition to technical skills, additional qualifications require. But for leadership in the narrower sense, managers often insufficiently trained. It is still assumed that complex management tasks through a technical or business-related education plus some days leadership seminar can handle. In practice, it is often that such "Schnellbleiche" is not sufficient. Demanding leadership roles do you overcome not only by the Learning of the so-called Soft Skills – such as in the areas of self-management, communication, conflict management, negotiation – , but mainly through the clarification of own role as a leader in various fields of conflict .

...a clear winner: Barack Obama (104 answers)! He received about three Times more votes than the significantly beat Christoph Blocher (29 mentions) and Angela Merkel (28 entries).

Our interest

For us as the organisers of leadership training, however, was not only the naked result is interesting, but especially the Statement of those who say, who are the future Chefs are (personal) and the manner in which they lead (coach & coach). the
the
Emotionene win!

According to our "Pulsfühlung" it is Barack Obama succeeded, positive emotions, not only in the American world, but also in the "world of HR & coach" to awaken. He was often referred to as "charismatic, good-looking (!) Visionary“ for a new systemic-ethical  way of thinking and leading.  In contrast, applies Angela Merkel by many as the "iron and pragmatic Lady" of a past time. Christoph Blocher and his "right-confrontational management style" is for the most of the recruiters simply an "unreasonable Patriarch."
the
performance lose?

If you are after a certain time of the interview, the onset of reflection of our interviewees regarding the effective transcript of records of the three protagonists was a more nuanced picture. Christoph Blocher was quite a high level of performance , especially with regard to his work as an entrepreneur, granted. When Merkel was appreciated that a "sober, relatively ugly physicist from the former GDR" did it, as a woman in the "blenderisch-masculine" world of politics with pragmatic solutions to enforce. About his performance was Barack Obama will be judged in different ways: by The Statements went beyond "type of tourism Director without effect" up to "the Bigsshe is a politician, with the Change of the Krankenkassensystems in America, a paradigm shift achieved." the
the
The belly wins!

Amazingly, even after the intensive part Ratio-influenced call - and the period of reflection – not a single participant, his first decision revised. It is from this close, even if highly sophisticated performance measurement and Personalauswahlinstrumente developed and used in every person and in particular any personal intuitive-emotional decisions, and finally, in his first "heart-decision" remains!

...the customers at the most can be helped.
the
leaders need to be effective!
Leaders are effective when they are effective and efficient. The Management thinker Peter F. Drucker defines effectiveness easy but this makes it no less accurate: "An effective leader does the right things right."

With Coaching, the effectiveness of increase.
Effectiveness means doing the right things. Here are the basic and perhaps therefore the most challenging issues in the foreground: What are my goals as a person? Such as "work," I as a leader? What are my core values? What are my leadership? the
the
To these questions to effectively edit, are instruments of the nondirektiven reflection, such as in a classical Coaching have been developed, the appropriate means.

With Training efficiency.
Efficiency means to do things right. Thus, for example, the following topics are dealt with: How I realized my goals? How can I manage myself? How do I convince my Team of my ideas? How do I deal with conflicts? the
the
For these issues, are instruments of learning, such as in education and specifically in terms of the Learning of adults - in the classic Training have been developed, the most suitable. the
the
Why is the Reflexionsarbeit important?
Answer the questions according to their own values, principles, etc, there is a risk that a new behavior in the short-term eintrainiert can be, in the medium term, but lost again. The reason is simple: The new "skills" are not their own, often hidden values and principles! the
the
The System a person is creative enough, and quickly find ways themselves to sabotage the "old" stability is once again achieved. Therefore, they are Erfolgsseminare in Erfolgstrainern often for the long term so little successful! the
the
Why is the training of key competencies important?
Leaders must achieve results. Results are achieved not primarily through reflective Questioning, but by actively Doing. Managers have complex objectives in a highly complex environment under time pressure and frequently changing conditions. For that you need effective instruments.
the
With pure expertise can, for example, technically sophisticated machines developed and complex chemical relationships be explored, but technical competence alone is not sufficient to lead people to. the
the
The skills (including Soft Skills) in the field of communication, self-leadership and the targeted influencing of people in universities and technical colleges rarely taught. This is also for a good reason: Because it is only in the rough everyday work life, personal deficits with regard to these key obviously. But then the time should be invested by a specific Training to acquire! the
the
The most success with the combination delivers!
I am convinced that the leaders benefit the most, when first asked is "What do I do at all" (= to increase the effectiveness), to then in a Training intensively to the subject of "How do I do it Best" (= increasing the efficiency) to devote. the
the
Therefore, I combine in my work Coaching with Training. This is why this combination is so successful!

... überblickbares offer. Some of the offers are good. Others, however, highly unprofessional, and bring the client nothing. This Wild growth has not only its impact on quality, but also on the prices. These move between the dumping of leisure - Hobby-coach (CHF 65.--/h) up to "Künstlerpreisen" about  CHF 1'000.--/h.

The professionalization in progress

In the foreseeable future, in Germany and in the Anglo-American region is the development of already more advanced - it is a professionalisation of the industry. It will be a clear separation of skilled and customer-oriented coaches and trainers on the one hand, and on the own self-realization, are considered a Life-style Gurus, on the other hand.

My approach - and also the most professional and spe - zialisierten coach, I know - is that the fees of the Business Coach in the framework of the usual approaches for self-employed professionals with a University degree and qualified special training and many years of practical experience bwegen.

This is for two reasons:

1. is A professional and successful details of coaching should be the Coach to allow financially on the same "footing" as its target audience to move.

2. Coaching as a professional facilitation should be an attractive livelihood for highly qualified professionals to offer. Otherwise, "jump", and the market is flooded with "Halbprofis". And this benefits in particular the quality-longing audience nothing!
