Studies demonstrate that a handful of competencies distinguish superior managers and executives from average ones. That competency gap can be measured in dollars — in a company’s bottom line. Executive coaching can help close that gap and improve a company’s financial results. Several studies show that coaching produces a ROI of between six and seven times the cost of coaching.
An outside coach offers an executive objective feedback, sound leadership practices with a path for adopting them, and unbiased guidance. You can use it as a refinement tool to add polish to key executives, a retention tool to reduce turnover and reward star performers, and a development tool to prepare your next generation of leaders.

The complexity of the business environment means that few, if any, individuals can get things done alone. This is why teams have become an integral part of today’s organizations. When they work well and are untangled, teams of diverse, talented and committed people can collaborate, share ideas, and formulate sound decisions and solutions. On the other hand, teams that don’t work well have partisanship instead of collaboration, conflict instead of synergy, and competition instead of cooperation. They get tied up in team tangles. There are many reasons why teams don’t excel. Lack of team trust is one. Employees who are asked for the first time to share knowledge, practices and resources may hold out. The team may not have created clear rules of engagement or productive norms for making decisions and resolving conflict. Roles may be ambiguous and unclear. The team structure may actually work against true collaboration. Strained relationships or differences in personality or style can also impede a team’s progress. Ruben Consulting Group (RCG) helps organizations build and sustain effective teams, from management to production teams. Our expertise in human and group dynamics is coupled with our own experience on effective business teams.

Whatever issue your organization is looking to resolve — aligning business strategy and structure, assessing customer satisfaction or evaluating a change initiative — getting started is the hardest part. In fact, more often than not, the two most difficult aspects of resolving an organizational issue are:
The people closest to the situation are usually the ones who know what is going on; however, their proximity may impair their objectivity. Also, deeply involved with day-to-day deadlines, politics and personalities they may leave even priority issues on the back burner.
