Dr. Ranker has 17 years of experience as an executive coach, specializing in corporate politics, a facet of executive coaching that he has almost single handedly pioneered. Gary was one of the first to apply a 360 degree coaching technique that today is common practice. He sensed a need to look beyond the individual executive and explore his or her corporate environment, making a point to interview several of the client’s closest associates. This 360 degree approach seeks to garner not only a clear understanding of coworkers’ opinions of the client’s behaviors, but also to gain a perspective of the corporate political field in which they work. “The reason why I work with multiple people within a company is that I’m trying to get an understanding of the culture so that I can coach to the expectations of that culture. I work with the individual person I’m assigned to; however, I’m always paid by a corporation, so the corporation’s view of what their politics are is a major factor in the relationship.”
Gary Ranker is a soft spoken man, with a warm and welcoming demeanor. He has a pleasant laugh which is immediately inviting, an enthusiasm that is contagious, and immeasurable generosity that is always giving. In his interview, he shared the life experiences that nurtured his talents as an executive coach, his unique skill and ability that distinguish him as an expert in corporate politics, and his strategies for working with clients.
