TURN YOUR LEADERS INTO EFFECTIVE COACHES

We believe the performance of a team is a reflection of the leader’s ability to coach, because we see it reflected in our research every day. So what we provide is a unique, quantified, research-based approach that turns leaders into effective coaches. Because when one ”manages” a team, the focus is merely on making sure tasks are completed. But when one “coaches” a team, it inspires growth and motivates individuals to take ownership and act.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND TOOL

Our Coaching Effect Survey (CES) is the only survey focused squarely on measuring a leader’s coaching of their team. We measure coaching consistency and effectiveness, rather than employee satisfaction or engagement, because our research shows that when coaching improves, a team’s performance improves. Simply put, better coaching leads to better results.
