What makes a good executive coach?

A good executive coach can step into a situation and make accurate assessments of the workplace environment and culture. They also need patience, because an essential part of the job is to help the client to realize how to change behavior. You need to have excellent interpersonal and verbal communication skills to create an open atmosphere where each person can find success and achieve growth. You must also be understanding because you may be asked to help workers and managers adjust to new modes of work that they may be unused to.
