Executive Coaching Drives Future Leadership Success
Executive coaching has finally made contact with Big Law, big time. Until recently, law firms did not hire executive coaches like their corporate counterparts did. Now, law firms are hiring executive coaches for their lawyers and highly valued associates. This paradigm shift has happened because research now proves there is a return on investment realized by organizations that invest in professionally developing human capital ' both in terms of retaining talent, and driving leadership skills for success.
Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa, Professor of Practice at Columbia Business School and founder of the ground-breaking Institute for Personal Leadership, has stated: “As a professional, the mastery of our discipline gets us only so far. We can be the greatest accountant, consultant or lawyer in the world, in terms of our financial, business or legal acumen, but if we do not know how to get along with people, how to turn around moments of conflict, how to collaborate with colleagues and partners, how to influence people and organizations, and how to get people to trust us, we will be nowhere close to our full potentials.”
Since Professional Development is tasked with the very important job of supporting a firm's lawyers throughout their career life span, they are in the perfect position to spearhead the executive coaching process. However, this new landscape has created a wealth of different perspectives about what executive coaching should be and the qualifications that an excellent coach should have. This article addresses those points as they relate to hiring executive coaches for lawyers.
