Performance Coaching & Accountability in Houston
Leaders at every level in your organization have two primary responsibilities regarding their people:
- Increase the individual capabilities of the employees they lead
- Expand the team’s capacity to produce profitable work outcomes
We advise leaders on how to align individual capability development with strategic and operational objectives of the business. Whether the need is to build on the strengths of a high performer or fill a skills gap with a new supervisor, our performance coaching consultants are available to help design an impactful approach to continuous growth.
A Skills-Based Approach for Continuous Growth
We leverage day-to-day interactions to equip your leaders with Performance Coaching competencies to include:
- Engaged, forward-looking, ongoing, two-way communication rather than infrequent, formal reviews
- Practice providing feedback in a safe space so both parties can be honest about challenges, gaps, and needs
- Expand beyond solving immediate problems and add focus to expanding your leaders’ go forward capabilities
- Empower your team to take individual ownership of their skills, development, and directionally correct growth
Add Individual Capability
Expand Team Capacity
Skills-Based Focus
Shift the focus from generalized job expectations to identifying and developing specific core capabilities.
Shorter Learning Cycles
Break down the overall learning objective into short, manageable growth cycles. Focus each cycle on a specific set of skills or deliverables followed by review and planning for the next cycle.
Continuous Feedback Loops
Implement brief daily or weekly check-ins to monitor progress, catch skill gaps early, and make necessary adjustments to the development content, method, or technique.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Encourage employees to learn from colleagues with different expertise through on-the-job coaching, mentorship, and job shadowing. The result is a more resilient and flexible team focused on spinning up talent.
Align Learning Goals with Business Needs
Clearly define the critical capabilities needed to meet both immediate business objectives and long term needs to expand your team’s strength.
Assess Current Skills
Conduct efficient skills assessments to understand the current capabilities of your workforce and pinpoint specific skills and knowledge gaps that will be addressed.
Prioritize Must-Have Abilities
Focus the first cycle’s learning objectives on essential capabilities needed to meet core daily deliverables.
Gather and Integrate Feedback
Collect timely feedback from both parties at the end of the learning cycle to refine the focus and approach.
Repeat and Scale
Continuously improve the development program through successive skill sets and gradually scale the program across your organization.

We started out as a new company in 2020 that emerged from a group of experienced leaders and employees in the flight services industry. We knew we needed HR support through a real partner so we would not have to figure things out on our own, and we were not going to bring that function in-house. The Achilles team has been vitally important given the many dynamics to HR. It’s reassuring and gives us the confidence that our questions, issues, and problems will be resolved.

Before we engaged with Achilles Group, our HR was more on the reactive side and we felt something was missing, and we didn’t know how to get there. We worried about many HR topics like compliance gaps, records retention, how to on-board new employees, and how to develop our leaders. Achilles not only guided in all those areas, but they spent a lot of time with us and provided the manpower needed to take that burden off our shoulders. It would have been very difficult to accomplish all this from a time standpoint without their team involved.
