| This research project focused on building the business case for an executive-leadership coaching program to support succession planning. The project examined how coaching could maximize the success and return on investment of implementing 360-degree feedback. The opportunity looked at coaching as an effective tool to develop SaskPower's future leaders. This study is significant due to the demographic challenge facing SaskPower with the aging workforce and the massive retirement projection that will result in significant leadership shortages. Through action research, the project engaged the key stakeholders to gain their commitment, buy-in and support. The literature review explored the need for self-awareness and understanding for leadership effectiveness, as well as the impact of 360-degree feedback. The study focused on the return on investment of coaching, and its contribution to business success. Ethical issues were also important and reflected the ethical principles prescribed by Royal Roads University, and SaskPower's privacy expectations. |
