Corporate MVPs are the key high-achieving people in your organization. Only 5-10% of your workforce, they are the few top performers responsible for the products, revenues, or profits that drive most of your business. They produce tangible and dramatic results, create extraordinary value, and the future of the business usually depends on these people. These are clearly the type of employees and future leaders any organization would want to develop and retain, but too often they are lost to the competition because they are not effectively managed or developed. One of the keys to managing and retaining Corporate MVPs is to provide them with challenging opportunities to grow and develop. But, given that these people are often at the top of their game, how do you go about giving them developmental opportunities? Traditional assessment and development tools, such as 360-degree feedback, do not work effectively with Corporate MVPs because they often get top ratings on everything. The answer for many organizations lies in coaching and mentoring, creating personalized, individual development plans designed to meet the specific needs of high-performing employees. Coaching Corporate MVPs looks at developing your most valuable employees from a number of perspectives: How the development needs of MVPs differ from those of other employees. How coaching fits into the development needs and plans of Corporate MVPs. The role of the manager and of HR in choosing and using coaching interventions to develop MVPs. When to use coaching and when not to. How to select the right coaches to work with these individuals. The coachs experiencewhat works with MVPs, and what doesnt. The experiences MVPs have in working with coaches and the benefits they receive. The book contains quotes and stories gathered from interviews with MVPs themselves, as well as their managers, coaches, and HR professionals. It also features checklists and other practical tools useful for all the stakeholders involved in the coaching process.
