Why do CEOS need executive coaching?
CEOs are almost always high-achieving, highly-driven individuals, but the role of CEO requires people to look beyond their individual performance and drive success throughout the organisation.
Many CEOs, especially those that have already achieved great success, can lack awareness of how their actions impact those under their command. This becomes especially important to address during a downturn in company performance or when the business is moving in the wrong direction.
Many CEOs need help finding strategies to manage conflict, listen better, delegate more and share leadership responsibilities, to name but a few common issues. Coaching provides a safe and confidential space for CEOs to work through leadership challenges with an independent expert and find solutions that can drive individual and business success.
Why do CEOs need coaching?
CEOs have much in common with elite athletes, yet while you’ll be hard pressed to find an athlete that doesn’t employ the services of a coach some CEOs do not take advantage of the support and guidance the best coaches provide.
We believe CEOs should adopt an athlete’s mindset and think of themselves as an elite member of the board who can leverage the experience of an executive coach to enhance their own skills and improve their already high performance.
Many leading CEOs already engage with a team of executive coaches, drawing upon their particular area of expertise. CEOs and senior executives often turn to AGP for support and guidance throughout their careers.
We focus on developing their authentic leadership style while encouraging behaviours that enable them to adapt to ever-changing circumstances and unlock the potential of those around them.
What are the benefits of CEO coaching?
CEO coaching provides numerous benefits, from enhancing leadership skills to improving decision-making and communication.
By providing CEOs with a confidential space to discuss challenges and refine their strategies, CEO coaching can help high-level professionals gain a new sense of perspective.
This enables CEOs to better navigate complex situations with confidence, supporting their personal growth and helping them to foster better communication with their teams.
This ultimately drives wider business success, aligning the CEO’s vision with company goals and allowing them to boost performance with a more resilient and effective approach to leadership.

What does AGP’s CEO coaching process look like?
AGP has worked with top performing FTSE 250 CEOs during our 30 years of executive search. We know what great looks like and offer the comfort of talking to someone who speaks your language.
Our CEO Coaches use a variety of different tools and techniques to help CEOs deliver exceptional results for their organisation. These include a transformational learning questionnaire, which provides an opportunity to receive 360 feedback and use the results to formulate and implement development plans. These are not mandatory but do provide a good starting point for discussion.
Our programmes are flexible, however we suggest a minimum of four sessions is required to put CEOs firmly on the path to sustained self-improvement. We also offer a complimentary discovery session prior to any leadership coaching, to explore how you and your coach might work together.
A session normally lasts for two hours. We think of the process in terms of a two-way conversation during which our coach will ask powerful questions and challenge current thinking, feelings or behaviours. Our carefully curated questions help you self-identify your own solutions, so you instinctively know the actions you need to take to improve your performance.
Our coaches understand the urgency for some coaching needs and will make themselves available to ensure time-pressured CEOs achieve their desired goals, in their given timeframes.
How can CEO coaching help you to develop your leadership style?
CEO coaching helps you develop your leadership style by offering personalised guidance to identify and refine your strengths and areas for growth.
Coaches provide feedback and insights, encouraging self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Through reflective conversations, you can explore different leadership approaches, experiment with new strategies, and adjust your style to better align with your business goals.
Coaching also promotes adaptability, allowing you to navigate evolving challenges while maintaining authenticity. The process fosters confidence and enhances decision-making, enabling you to inspire your team and drive lasting impact with a more effective, tailored leadership style.
