Coaching

Two days ago,with Grahamwe explored what coaching is.

It was quite revealing,

Let me start from the learning outcomes,for example how important it is to focus on the person coached and eliminate any sighn of ego that might be struggling to appear...So once again the ffundamental feuture about leadership shines out...its not about you...!!!its about empowering other people...giving them space and opportunities to develop and achieve...and also helping when there are issues that need confrontation.

Also, when things are not going as expected and this needs to be pointed out during a coaching session it is critical not to personalise the problem...no fingerprinting blaming, but to detect the reasons of such a result and then create an environment that will minimise it ...

All this seems so conected to phycology...I guess it makes sence if we think how much time of their life people spend working...

Another thing quite impressive was a comment that came out that afternoon, about using coaching as a mean to ipmove. I think it was Paul who mentioned that every month or so he meets with his manager for a coaching session where they discuss about his performance and what can the company and the manager personally do, in order to improve that in the future...

Another comment came from Luis, who mentioned that in a company he worked in Venezuela had established the mentality of coaches instead of managers....

Isn't that promising...?

The fact that gradually the business world is understanding that employees dont need control systems but development and emancipation..
