What is coaching?
The ultimate aim of coaching is the effective use of everybody's
abilities and potential.
Why is coaching important?
The effective manager gets work done largely through others and
thus the ability to coach is one of the most important skills of
the manager's job. It goes well beyond delegation and involves the
short- and long-term development of staff.
Good coaching brings direct benefits both to the organization
and to the individuals involved - better working practices,
enhanced teamwork, increased creativity, better communication, less
crisis management and enhanced personal satisfaction, amongst other
things.
Dr. Angela Thomas, who runs her own Consultancy and conducts
coaching and other courses in Europe and the States, guides the
reader through the following five stages of the coaching process
using case studies, examples and exercises to promote interactive
learning:
1. Determine the reasons for coaching and decide on the
topic.
2. Identify long- and short-term goals; define targets and
standards.
3. Devise and develop specific overall individual session
plans.
4. Develop specific competence and confidence taking account of
individual learning styles.
5. Recap on what has been agreed, set deadlines and check on
progress.
