Coaching in the corporate setting uses the synergy of the
organization and its members to enable them to evolve their capacity for learning and
renewal into achievement of breakthrough results. Corporate coaching is central to a
cultural evolution process that shifts the landscape of the workplace from one where
people receive direction from others to one where people commit to doing things they care
passionately about. Everyone wins, and organizations achieve extraordinary results when
organizational members' creativity and potential are realized.
What is the context for Corporate Coaching?
Intense global competition, advances in computer and telecommunications technology,
product and service innovation, and the emergence of the customer as a central player in
the organization, have created a new corporate imperative. To sustain competitive
advantage, even to survive, organizations will be compelled to continually innovate with
unprecedented speed.
Rapid responses to the marketplace will be possible only in those organizations which
promote continual advances in knowledge within their cultures. To do this, organizational
leaders and members alike must radically shift the way they think and act in relationship
to work. They must place a new emphasis on learning and the harnessing of individual and
collective creativity. This will require a new type of workplace relationship. Coaching
provides both a technology and a process for such a relationship, and is one of the
cornerstones for organizational evolution.
How do I know if my organization is ready for coaching?
Some of the indicators that an organization may be ready to
become a coaching based organization include the need for:
- A system that promotes innovation and accelerates results
- Improved effectiveness of recruitment, development and
retention of valuable organizational members
- Better results from present continuous quality improvement
programs
- A more vital corporate culture
- A performance management system that's applicable throughout
the organization
- Moving vision creation and decision making throughout the
organization
- Improved organizational communication and team effectiveness
- Shared accountability for the success of the organization
- How does coaching relate to other process improvement programs?
Coaching complements and enhances other process improvement programs such as six sigma and
re-engineering. It does so because other process improvement programs typically focus on
tools, techniques and work processes, but rarely on interpersonal factors. Coaching puts
people into the process improvement equation and can dramatically increase the likelihood
of success of those programs. As a technology for performance improvement, coaching
provides a structure for measurement of quantifiable results.
