Executive Coaching Helps Perth Businesses Grow

Announcement posted by Integral Development 30 Aug 2013

Integral Development reveals why executive coaching has become an essential ingredient for success to many Perth businesses.
Perth, WA, August 30, 2013 - In today's business climate, many companies are looking for a way to gain a competitive edge in their marketplace. For many organisations, Integral executive coaching has supplied that edge. Integral coaching provides leaders and managers with a comprehensive and profound approach to development and learning for managers and leaders.

Integral coaching is tailored to the individual and designed to enable present and future leaders to transition more effectively to the next level. It focuses on solutions and results, producing personal and professional growth of the individual, thus increasing work performance and strengthening the organisation as a whole.

Integral coaching benefits organisations by developing individuals and helping them realise their full potential for leadership and high performance. The coaching process begins by identifying areas in which growth is necessary for key employees.

A customised developmental path is then created for those employees, furthering their personal and professional growth. This creates higher incentive for employee retention, because they feel as though they are an integral part of the organisation.

When employees have undergone coaching in an environment of support and well-being, they become more motivated and are more able to adapt to changes in both the workplace and the marketplace. This contributes to overall increased performance and affects positive changes on the organisation.

The Integral approach represents a profound departure from traditional leadership development training, in that it is based on the philosophy and work of Ken Wilber on Integral Theory.

Ron Cacioppe, PhD, Managing Director of Integral Development, created the Integral Leadership and Management framework, inspired by the work of John Kotter, a professor at Harvard University and the Competing Values Framework of Robert Quinn. Integral theory amalgamates the best ideas from virtually every scientific or spiritual field involving thought, including quantum physics, sociology, psychology and both eastern and western philosophy.

The Integral approach provides a unique opportunity for experiential learning, incorporating efficiency, effectiveness, culture and well-being into an integrated program for individual and corporate development. Integral theory is seen by many as the most important methodology of the 21st century, as it combines pre-modern and modern concepts with solid research and an eye toward future development.

Dr Cacioppe feels that applied Integral Theory is the most efficient way to further personal and professional growth, for individuals and organisations. According to Dr Cacioppe, “At Integral Development, we base everything we do on Integral Theory. We have developed a process that is comprehensive but fluid. We have an outline of what we feel are crucial factors to professional growth and leadership, but we acknowledge that we don't have to start from the beginning with most people.”

Dr Cacioppe continued, “We tailor every coaching session to the individual being coached. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses and even the most talented executives have skill gaps. It is incumbent upon us to identify areas that need growth and provide a vehicle in which that growth can be attained.”

Dr Cacioppe added, “Too many programs either encourage learning by rote or lack flexibility. We provide experiential learning that identifies problems and finds solutions. We are results-oriented, this ensures organisations that they will reap immediate benefits from our coaching programs.”

Dr Cacioppe concluded, “The Integral Approach provides organisations with the tools they need for the 21st century.”
