Coaching is a process that uses techniques and
skills to mentor individuals to develop their management and personal skills
that will better themselves and achieve their goals. As a coach you must have skills to facilitate
good mentoring.
Organizations may not be training for the World
Series, and the workplace doesn’t look much like the Yankee Stadium, but just
like athletes managers need coaching to reach their fullest career
potential. Developing your coaching
skills as a coach is critical in ensuring success of the manager that you will
be mentoring. Organizations in today’s
highly mobile workforce have little tolerance for non-performing managers. There is no such thing as perfection in
coaching. The manager’s role is critical
in achieving organizational success. The
coach who is development-minded and really believes in coaching has a chance
not only of motivating the manager that they are mentoring but creating a
synergistic relationship with them. Many
times the organizational environment is very complex, changing or multifaceted
and a coach is brought in to align the employees and the new environment. Mentoring is the process of tutoring and
transferring of skills from one person to another. Your coaching skills will help you clarify
performance goals, provide the right kind of training, and eliminate anything
that reinforces undesired work behaviors or performance. The skills of a coach focus on a particular
concern, solicit involvement and understanding, plan action and support,
monitor action and recognize resolution.
This will lead to improved performance.Robert J. Dahl
