The need is clear: a healthy, vibrant workplace where managers engage both the hearts and the minds of individuals and teams, bring the best out of people to achieve high performance results, and are able to evoke the full commitment of employees.
HOW COACHING LEADERS CAN BENEFIT AN ORGANIZATION
- Coaching leaders are skilful at engaging, enabling and empowering staff members and
- are good at creating a trustful work environment that is conducive to open communication and creative problem solving.
- Coaching leaders help build a positive and healthy company and team culture which results in higher employee engagement and performance.
- Coaching leaders both challenge and support others and demonstrate and demand accountability.
- Coaching leaders nurture leaders at all levels of the organization.
Coaching as a meaningful conversation between leaders and subordinates can bring a new quality to the relationship between leaders and followers. Coaching encourages independent thinking and solution focus, it unleashes creative potential and links individual focus with overall company objectives. It creates new levels of awareness, goal and action orientation and accountability.
High levels of complexity and uncertainty are the order of the day, leaders can no longer assume they can know or control everything what goes on. Plans must be adapted constantly to changing conditions and individuals and teams need to get empowered to work toward using their best capabilities and judgments in the moment. In these circumstances, the role of leadership shifts to one of shaping the understanding, development, and learning of team members so they can act both independently and in concert with the goals of the whole organization. The role of the leader becomes more and more the one of a facilitator and coach.
