Only 23 percent of new leaders — or employees who have advanced from being individual contributors to supervising or managing others — receive the coaching they need to reach their full development potential, according to a survey conducted by Right Management, a provider of integrated human capital consulting services and solutions across the employment life cycle.

While organizations see value in providing coaching to strategic and developing leaders, coaching is not offered as frequently to new leaders.

Right Management surveyed 656 human resource professionals in North America and found that organizations consistently provide coaching to these levels of employees as part of leadership development initiatives:
 

• 29 percent of developing leaders (vice presidents, directors, and managers) receive coaching.
• 35 percent of executive/strategic leaders (chief executive officers, department heads, and senior vice presidents) receive coaching.
• 23 percent of new leaders (supervisors and high-potential employees) receive coaching.

Most new leaders advance in their careers due to their proficiency with technical skills, but they don’t necessarily have the management and leadership abilities needed for success in their higher-level positions.

New leaders need as much development as strategic and developing leaders. They are the future leaders of the organization. Smart organizations focus their resources to develop these individuals and ensure they deliver on their much-anticipated success.
