DERAILMENT PREVENTION Occasionally a star performer or high-potential candidate may nonetheless have one or more rough edges that require some fine-tuning. There may also be personal issues at play that contribute to performance mis-steps. An organization may choose to invest in executive coaching to prevent self-derailment due to these unwanted characteristics and behaviors. There are also many occasions when a candidate comes to Dr. Chester for work on their own, taking ownership and responsibility for their career.
