Replacing an Executive can Cost You

Coaching is the one component of employee retention that is most overlooked and underused. The cost of replacing a high level executive now approaches almost 50% of their salary, not including any additional compensation packages. In other words, to replace a $200K salaried executive it will cost you $100K. Coaching for Performance costs for that same executive costs a company approximately $9-$12k per year. As reported in the article, “Can Coaching Help Your Business” (TheStreet.com (02/24/09), investing in executive leadership development can bring about a positive impact on an organization when it is particularly needed. Your under performing executives or other personnel in key roles can benefit from working with a one on one coach.

Innovative Leadership’s coaching program provides certified coaches who have extensive management experience and can relate to the pressures being placed on your leadership in these tough economic times. Our coaches use a unique process to get results while coupling the achievement with enhancing leadership skill-sets by incorporating Leadership Training into the one-on-one equation. We work with your leaders to develop their leadership competencies and skill-sets to compliment their decision-making abilities, and interpersonal responsiveness to their board and management team, while getting them to focus on the metrics that make a difference. Achievement is the result of effective planning and the proper implementation of a plan while monitoring the progress so that course corrections can be made along the way. Our Coaches directly work with you to design the plan, implement the strategy, formulate the metrics for success, and work with you to monitor the results.

You’re losing valuable money when an executive is replaced; stop this vicious circle with Coaching and Training. It really is priceless.
