Our Associates
Yarger Executive Coaching has a network of Executives that augment specific Coaching needs and supplementary services as required by start-up and young, growing companies.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
What We Do
We provide coaching to CEOs, Executives, and Corporate Teams. We work with CEOs who have the task of growing companies along with founding entrepreneurs who have the daunting task of starting a company. Leadership skills we coach are different for startup vs growth stage companies. However, if a company is to grow successfully, the leaders must develop specific skills critically important to effectively lead their companies through any of four key stages of company growth.
Why We Do It
Dr. James Yarger, Managing Partner of Yarger Executive Coaching, has first-hand experience leading companies. As the founder and CEO of two biotechnology companies, he understands the difficulties and stresses associated with being a leader. He learned that if a CEO is not capable of effectively leading people, their business will never become the high performing company they had envisioned… or worse. With his success over the past 25 years, Dr. James Yarger now has the passion to coach, teach and mentor CEOs the skills required to become successful leaders.
How We Do It
Our Coaching process starts with an initial meeting in which we discuss what defines success for the CEO, where the CEO needs help, and to what extent the CEO recognizes and accepts that they may need to learn additional leadership skills in addition to honing the skills they may already have.
The skills required by a founder leading a startup company are different than the leadership skills required to grow a company. During coaching, Yarger Executive Coaches do not run a CEOs company for them. Instead we Coach, teach and mentor the CEOs to successfully run their companies themselves.
