Coaching culture? What is coaching? I believe that many businessmen, merchants, vendors, workers, businessmen, from the highest management level to the lowest ask these questions, since at present it is a term widely used in any type of organization, in this way we have to Coaching is nothing more than a tool to better plan, delegate and solve problems. In other words, coaching is systematically applied to enhance professional development, promote a receptive attitude to change in the environment, dispel fears and doubts in the face of uncertainty, and increase people's commitment to their organization to obtain better results.
Today in a globalized world where companies seek to maximize results is where coaching is present, helping organizations to optimize the performance of workers, motivating and instructing them, thus generating a business transformation through transformative leadership.
If it is possible to implement a “coaching culture” in organizations, we will be able to see from a more optimistic perspective the different situations, problems and / or people; eliminating the subjective and the prejudices that can be generated at a given moment.
It is of great importance for organizations and their leaders to understand and deepen that this type of management strategy "coaching" is focused on stimulating all its workers to contribute to the success of the organization of which they are a part, as well as the same The responsibility lies with the leader, where he must develop coaching techniques adding extra value in a volatile, complex, ambiguous and uncertain environment.
In this way, organizations should keep in mind the benefits that John Whitmore mentions in relation to the culture of coaching:
- Improving performance and productivity: With coaching we extract from individuals and teams something that cannot be achieved through the transmission of instructions. Staff Development: With a short course once or twice a year we will not achieve full development of our team. This depends on us and our leadership style. Improved learning: Coaching produces thoughtful, deep and rapid learning that lasts over time. Improving relationships: The act of asking someone a question already means that we value and value their reply. Giving instructions does not produce any exchange of ideas, opinions, emotions, etc… More time: The team is not persecuted or monitored, because through coaching we have trained them in an environment of trust and responsibility. More creative ideas:With greater confidence, all team members feel free to present their ideas without fear of ridicule or premature rejection. Better use of skills and resources: Through coaching, hidden resources are discovered earlier and you get there earlier to practical solutions. A faster and more effective response: Coaching fosters an environment in which team members feel valued and are always ready to solve problems, do not expect instructions to do so. Greater flexibility and adaptability to change: What What best defines coaching is its potential to produce changes, generate responses and encourage people's responsibility. More motivated people: People perform better because they want it, not because they have to. It favors cultural change.
Seeing in this way the benefits that the culture of coaching offers us, there is no doubt that with an adequate application of it as a tool for organizational change, one can obtain that desired renewal and conquer all the goals that the organization sets in an optimal setting. and leadership. Because when you work in a team and with motivation you achieve success.
