Subject: Coaching for best performance - Day 2 General posted by JustinBarry on Friday, June 12th 2009 @ 1:50 PM

Lets take a look at some other critcial aspects of coaching:
Person's potential - a coach's mindset is to believe that people possess more capability, and therefore he must think in terms of their potential, not their current/past performance. Most appraisal systems are flawed for this reason because people are put in performance boxes which is hard for them to break out!
Person's awareness of themself - Building awareness, responsibility and self-belief is the goal of a coach. The coach's job is to open doors for the people so they can see what achievements are possible for them!

DAY 1
Coaching is more than a buzz word!
So I would like to share with you some key points about coaching over the week and would also welcome feedback.
Coaching is a management behavior that sits at the opposite end of the spectrum to command and control - there are no quick fixes here so good coaching is a skill/art that requires a depth of understanding and plenty of practice if it is to deliver its astonishing potential.
A great coach will rarely provide or prescribe solutions - business need to consult a fresh mind, someone who brings no investment or position of his own, an outsider who is not involved with the organization or its culture. An independent coach can reflect ideas, evoke solutions and support their implementation in a way that few insiders could ever do.
