The Measurable Impact of Leadership Coaching

Leadership coaching delivers concrete results. 

Leadership Development

Coaching is particularly effective in developing leadership skills:

* A study found that running first-time managers through a leadership development program offered a 29% ROI in the first 3 months and a 415% annualized ROI1.

61% of coaching clients say they improved their business management skills thanks to coaching, according to the 2009 ICF Global Coaching Study1.

Performance Improvement

Coaching has been shown to significantly enhance individual and organizational performance:

* The International Coaching Federation (ICF) reports that executive coaching leads to a 70% increase in individual performance, a 50% increase in team performance, and a 48% increase in organizational performance3.

* Organizations that offer training alone experience a 22% increase in productivity, but when combined with coaching, that figure rises to 88%3.

ROI

Executive coaching has consistently demonstrated a strong Return on Investment:

* Manchester Inc. surveyed 100 executives, mostly from Fortune 1000 companies, and found that companies' investment in executive coaching realized an average ROI of almost six times the cost of coaching1.

* A report from FMI, a management consulting and investment banking firm, found that 87% of survey respondents agreed that executive coaching has a high ROI4.
