The Role of the Coach

For an organisation to operate successfully, it is essential that its employees, particularly those in key positions, are able to ‘think outside the box’, make decisions, and operate independently. Effective coaching encourages those being coached to adopt a mind-set towards their own development that fosters these qualities, and positive behaviours. A ‘coaching culture’, therefore, creates a workforce that is well able to support the demanding needs of a modern, constantly changing, and non-bureaucratic organisation. We’ll also look at how delegation fits in as part of the personal development process, and look at its link with coaching.
