A 10 Point Summary of a Big Topic…What is coaching? Points 9-10
30 September 2011
Here are Corporate Coach U’s final two points to answer ‘What is coaching?’ We hope that these points have shed light on how you can benefit from coaching and why it is an essential tool for every organisation.9. Why develop coaching skills...
Successful leaders today are developing their coaching skills, in order to:
support and enhance employee performance and development ‘peer coach’ as a key way to provide support and guidance to each other in challenging environments, and possibly ‘coach up’ by coaching their superiors to enhance their own ability and manage in a 360 degree feedback situation. Coaching provides not only a context for feedback, but also a process to support changed behaviour. The best workplace coaches are those who: understand and develop their own coaching style, rather than following a formulaic approach know how to ‘flex’ their style to coach others, and can use the coaching process and concepts effectively through understanding and skill development.
10. Leaders develop their competency in coaching by...
increasing their awareness of coaching and its benefits, and ‘buying in’ to the concept and process educating themselves on coaching concepts and tools identifying their own coaching style and skill level, and learning to identify others’ preferences for being coached practicing using the best coaching tools and their own strengths and encouraging, accepting and acting upon feedback.
