A manager needs core coaching skills to keep teams engaged, supported, productive and efficient. Without them, managers can end up overburdened with too much responsibility and drain their own energy.
Mangers as coaches, or Executive Coaching has proven to help organisations for :
• Optimising Manpower
• Cutting Delivery Time
• Saving Cost
• Increasing Job Engagement
• Increasing Job satisfaction
• Lowering The Attrition Rate
This is why organisations and companies are desiring their Managers to become professional Coaches for the organization. Managers as coaches has proven to be very advantageous specially in the times of :
• Making Strategic Plans
• Arriving at Crucial decisions
• Balancing Work with Life
• Getting Team Cooperation
• Managing Stress
• Achieving Targeted Goals
• Creating New market
• Growing into Leadership Position
The coaching approach gives managers the insight to help team members make self-discoveries, be driven by purpose and strive for excellence. It helps people champion their own development plan and make rewarding choices. This happens when managers use their influence to create a shift at the InnerMost level.
There are two profound ways managers choose to help their teams:
Managers set aside weekly, bi-weekly or monthly sessions. They take special time out and encourage people to bring their own agenda and work out the best solutions in focused coaching sessions.
Managers do not need to take time out for exclusive sessions. They use the coach approach in everyday work interactions and become popular for their out-of-the-box behaviour.
Either way, managers as coaches become enablers, facilitators and catalysts for an appreciative, resource-empowering coaching culture in their organisations.
Managers create this culture because they are trained in the ICF coaching competencies and a proven coaching model built to create the InnerMost Shift, as follows:
Purpose : Decide what purpose your talk or question will serve.
Intention : Discover and clarify your intention, and align behaviour with purposeful interaction.
Outcome : Know clearly what you will accomplish and deliver..
Listen deeply :Give full attention to the words and to non-verbal expressions.
Question : Ask wise, thoughtful and focused questions.
Navigate : Keep the communication on purpose and do not deviate.
Encourage : Help people bring out their best ideas and solutions.
Action Commitment :Have others commit to action and be accountable.
Track Progress : Make sure action continues in the right direction and people take responsibility.
Deliver Results : Bring people to deliver results wholeheartedly.
Because managers are trained in all of these competencies, they can help people make the InnerMost Shift in four core areas of growth and development:
Planning : Draw a practical, executable plan and decide steps and milestones.
Performance :Help improve the quality and quantum of performance.
Productivity : Help employees exceed their limits and raise productivity.
Progress : Help employees exceed their limits and raise productivity.
Managers as coaches are in demand because they can optimise these areas:
Break Rules : Retire limiting beliefs and challenge assumptions that hold progress back.
Innovate :Keep innovating to upgrade the company’s products, services and support.
Time wise : Allocate and track time so it is spent wisely and efficiently.
Manage Conflicts : Help people resolve differences quickly and work together.
Get Going : When going gets tough, keep people sailing through turbulence.
Stress Free :Keep people at ease, with skill and artfulness.
Whether they work with customers, suppliers, colleagues, bosses, team members or CEOs, they stay emotionally wise and intelligent, which helps people stay vibrant and full of energy.
