Overview/Description
When is a good time to coach? And what is the business case for coaching? Is coaching just another popular fad, or can organizations really benefit from it? Every coach should be aware of the strategic uses of coaching: the organizational benefits that are offered, how coaching can be used to help coachees deal with positive and negative change, and ways of coaching innovators and mavericks. What factors are important when coaching teams? It's true that many of the techniques that you use for individual coaching will be the same. But when coaching teams, you'll need to run an initial meeting, set boundaries, and deal with team tension. In order for coaching to improve the bottom line for your organization, you must display an ongoing commitment to coaching. Coaching works in all directions--consider upward and peer-to-peer coaching--which is one of the reasons it is so powerful. Total confidentiality and life coaching can also help to foster a long-term coaching strategy that leads to ultimate business success.
