“Derailed CEO Makes a Comeback” – Client Engagement

Expertise in Business & Psychology

We offer a staff of expert consultants with advanced degrees in the behavioral sciences including (1) industrial and organizational psychology, (2) organization development consulting, (3) senior executive and line management and (4) educators. We understand the psychological, organizational, and business dynamics of leadership. While general management consultants generally do not understand individual and organizational dynamics, and psychologists generally do not understand business dynamics, we understand and integrate both in our work with clients.

Selecting your coach

One of the most important keys to a successful development program is having the right coach. Your coach will serve as your guide and help you attain your goals. Without the right coach, executives often get derailed or sidetracked during the development process.

To get the most out of your development program, your coach should be someone who...

  • is experienced in dealing with senior executives and understands what makes executives succeed and fail as managers and leaders
  • is an objective outsider
  • understands business and the pressures and demands on an executive
  • will be honest and give direct, no-holds-barred input
  • understands that feedback can be painful and that a client will need support at times
  • has access to objective tools to get reliable and accurate data on a client's style
  • can give an executive feedback from enough different directions that crucial themes become clear to the participant
  • can help an executive integrate feedback into an understandable package s/he can get his/her arms around
  • can help an executive establish a plan to change
  • understands the importance of matching an executive's development needs to the strategic needs of his/her company
  • can recognize when an executive is backsliding and give him/her a nudge or a boost if needed
  • will meet with a client regularly to help him/her sustain momentum for change

As a participant in the Turknett Executive Development Program, one of our consultants will be your coach. Our consultants all have extensive experience in coaching at the executive level, advanced degrees in behavioral science and business expertise.
