Executive Coach PCC ICF · Beijing / Hong Kong
Evgeny Bazhov
Helping successful leaders get even better.
For over a decade I have worked with CEOs and executives on the beliefs and behaviors that quietly limit their results. My clients are leaders whose work is critical to their organizations — and I only get paid after they measurably improve.
Coaching that is accountable to results
I coach with Marshall Goldsmith's Stakeholder Centered Coaching approach. “Better” is not defined by me or even by the client alone — it means measurable positive change in pre-selected leadership behaviors, as rated by pre-selected key stakeholders.
Choose the behaviors
We pick a small number of leadership behaviors that truly move the needle for you and your organization, and agree on how change will be measured.
Engage the stakeholders
The people who live with your behavior every day — your team, peers, board — become active observers and feed back what they actually see, not what you intended.
Pay after the change
I am compensated only after your stakeholders confirm measurable improvement. Shared risk keeps both of us honest about what “better” means.
In their words
Leaders from different countries — and I am selective about who I work with.
Evgeny is one of the most in-demand executive coaches, very selective in choosing clients — and he only gets paid after his clients get better.

Five qualities of leaders worth developing
There may be natural-born leaders — but there are so few of them that they make no difference in the greater scheme of things. Leadership skills are born of passion, tenacity and the necessity to grow. Based on research of 11,000 successful companies.
- 1
Leaders are proactive
They always think in terms of what can be done to achieve more and better results, fully aware that most things don't work the first time.
- 2
Leaders are learners
They practice the skills necessary to succeed — including committing to learn the one new skill that will double their performance every year.
- 3
Leaders give credit and take responsibility
When things go right, they motivate the team by giving credit. When things go wrong, they address it directly and take responsibility for doing better next time.
- 4
Leaders measure performance
You can't change what you don't measure. Their first question: what am I trying to accomplish here, and what must be done that only I, as leader, must do?
- 5
Leaders are focused on the goal, flexible about the path
There is no such thing as failure; there is only feedback. As the founder of Nike said, “You only have to be successful the last time.”
