Why do few leaders not reach the Board Room?

Most of the time, my clients need to work on the above points ( any one or more of them) to move to the next level. Broadly in my observation, leaders moving from mid/senior management to the CXO level need to focus on nurturing themselves in the following four distinct qualifiers to be a successful CXO.
High-potential senior leaders being groomed to be in the board room must repeatedly exhibit the above four qualifiers par excellence daily.
Most of my clients are already excellent in the first three qualifiers, which is why they have experienced early success in their careers. But they hit the ceiling in their career at some stage due to lack of a powerful Executive Presence. And that’s where Executive Presence Coaching with the best Executive Coach plays a key differentiator.

Most aspiring CXOs in India consciously nurture the above traits to hone their Executive Presence. They look for the best Executive coach in India who can understand where they are and help them reach their cherished goal of being in a Board Room. Best Executive Coach in India ensures that their client acquires the proper awareness about their strengths and areas of improvement. Executive Coaching is a process where the senior leaders work with their Executive coach for six months to help them rediscover their innate greatness. The CXO Coach/Executive Coach helps the senior leaders by acting as a sounding board, asking powerful questions, and helping them with strategies. As an Executive Coach, I support my clients in rediscovering their greatness through focused Executive Coaching.
What do we mean by Rediscovering Greatness Within?Each individual has an element of greatness within them. Until they are operating from a lower state of being, they are far away from that greatness. As an outcome, they are in a state of self-doubt and end up self-sabotaging their efforts. It leads to a very mild Executive Presence.
Rediscovering greatness means–getting in touch with your Purpose/ your “why.” – identifying your passion. – identifying your innate talent. – recognizing your strengths. – finding a mechanism to stay in a higher state of being. When a leader rediscovers her greatness, her Executive Presence shoots to its peak, and she comes across as a mighty leader ready to become a CXO in the Board Room.
