Coaching as a Leadership Style
“To be an executive coach, it is
necessary to know that clients are the first and best expert capable of solving
their own problems and achieving their own ambitions, that is precisely the
main reason why clients are motivated to call on a coach. When clients bring
important issues to a coach, they already made a complete inventory of their personal
or professional issues and of all possible options. Clients have already tried
working out their issues alone, and have not succeeded”.
With this statement in mind, then
value that a coach can provide to their clients is to give them the clarity
they need to distinguish between the options they have already discovered for
themselves. Most people have the knowledge they need, but the just don’t know
where to put forth their energy in order to give them the maximum return on
their efforts. Coaching can reinforce creativity, which will produce change,
and hopefully growth. This is important to the strategy of a company because it
will help the employees to assess their current needs, challenges they will
face, opportunities that may come up, and feel more confident with the choices
they make with the current potential.
Coaching within your company will
change the morale of the people who work for you. People will feel that they
are important as you show that you value their development. When people feel
valued at work performance, quality, and commitment will all improve. On the
flip side to that, conflict will reduce as they employee’s feel more like part
of a team.
Coaching is exactly what is needed
within my organization. If we were to have leaders who used a coaching style of
leadership, the morale within the whole organization would change. People would
start acting as if the job they do is important and would try to find ways to
make things better. Right now they are just content to do what is required…nothing
more, nothing less.
