APLS GROUP

Executive Coaching & Consulting

Service Strategies

Coaching clearly became identified as a critical core competency for success in the early 1990”s. Organizations began to realize that many of the individuals in new leadership positions were promoted because of their technical talent, not their “human interaction/people capabilities”. This created a huge gap in the knowledge and skills needed to be successful.

In organizations large, medium and small today, there are coaches for developing leadership skills, improving public speaking, managing transitions to overseas assignments, enhancing “executive presence,” career coaches, life coaches, and coaches for just about everything else you can imagine. However, the largest request for engagement we get at APLS Group is for “leader development”. The biggest change in Coaching from the 1990’s to today 2009 is that instead of it being used as “fix it tool” for leaders with problems, it has shifted to helping successful leaders get even better.
