Professional Development Expert Explains How to be a Good Manager
Executive Coach Jim Jenkins says smart companies will focus on management development in 2005.
Frederick, MD (PRWEB via PressReleaseHelp) December 7,
2004 -- According to Jim Jenkins, an executive coach and president of
the training and professional development
consulting firm Creative Visions Consulting (www.cvc-inc.com) in Frederick, MD, employee retention – along
with the healthier bottom line accompanying that – depends on both training and
coaching of supervisors and managers. Whether the economy is stumbling or
sprinting, studies consistently show that bad experiences with their manager is
the #1 reason for employees looking around for another place to
work.
“Knowing how to manage staff isn’t a skill people are born with,”
notes Jenkins. “With training, people can learn the principles of managing so
that talented employees prefer to stay. But that isn’t enough. Within ten days,
most people have lost 90 percent of what they learned in training. When coaching
follows training, the lessons stick, and new habits become solid.”
Since
coaching is a relatively new option for helping training to stick, Creative
Visions Consulting offers a free downloadable white paper on the value of
coaching in business that summarizes research on the typical return on
investment of coaching. In one study that conservatively measured ROI, coaching
delivered five dollars in benefit for every dollar spent. Another study found a
return on investment from coaching of 529 percent; when employee retention costs
and benefits were included in that calculation, the ROI rose to 788
percent.
Creative Visions Consulting’s white paper, “Creating Sustained
Success: The Value of Coaching in Business,” is available at no cost from http://www.cvc-inc.com/uploads/ROIOFCOACHING.pdf . The white
paper also includes guidelines for selecting a coach.
