From Proving to Improving: A Leadership Mindset Shift

A crucial quality of leaders and high achievers is a commitment to continuing personal and professional development.
Executive coaching, in particular, unlocks leaders’ potential to maximise their performance and that of their organisation. At OMT Global, we help to identify and develop the competencies and behaviours needed for organisational success.
“I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual.” – John Russell, Managing Director, Harley-Davidson Europe
In a study of senior executives at Fortune 1000 companies who used coaching, the executives reported: increased productivity (53%), increased customer service (39%), increased retention of senior people (32%), reduction in costs (23%) and increased bottom-line profitability (22%), as well as better relationships, less conflict, and improved teamwork (Manchester Review, 2001, Vol. 6, 1).
