There is no doubt that this method of enhancing individual and organizational performance is highly effective. Yet, the manner in which many organizations approach, design, structure, and implement coaching initiatives is questionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, there is a mistaken perception that coaching is a more \u201celite\u201d form of learning compared to instructor-led training and so is reserved for senior and executive management positions only. The primary objective of coaching is more about making the good better, and the better the best, while training is more of a remedial tool intended to close gaps and correct poor performance. Coaching therefore should not be the prerogative of a few but should be available throughout an organization\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, a successful coaching initiative largely depends on the commitment and motivation of the coachee. \u201cForcing\u201d employees to work with a coach can negate all the valuable benefits of the initiative. Organizations must implement a strong communication and trust-building plan before initiating the coaching process to gain employee willingness, commitment, and partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, a fruitful coaching initiative must be designed&nbsp;to include the following at the minimum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Clearly identified goals:&nbsp;<\/strong>Is the focus on personal development, performance enhancement or both?<\/li><li><strong>Expected results outcomes:<\/strong>&nbsp;With robust coaching related&nbsp;metrics linked to the identified goals. How specifically will the coachee\u2019s development translate into the organization\u2019s strengths?<\/li><li><strong>Methodology:<\/strong>&nbsp; A results-oriented process &nbsp;that is consistent within the organization, yet customized to the unique needs of each coachee<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Like everything else, for coaching to be truly effective in any organization, it must be done right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching has become a very popular developmental tool in many organizations.
