Value Based Leadership Coaching


What can I do to be a better coach? The Eight Step Coaching Model describes the process, yet too often the focus is on techniques only. ?How can I say it to win my point, get others to do things my way, or convince them?? Focusing only on one technique is fundamentally manipulative. Good leadership coaching, like good parenting, is a way of being as well as doing. This way of being, or our values, drives our behaviors. Like Olympic figure skaters, coaches should evaluate themselves in two areas; skills and style, the expression of your values.

Coaching Book Review: The Coach: Creating Partnerships for a Competitive Edge


Leaders today have many challenges when it comes to guiding and influencing the performance of their team members. In the past, productivity and success depended on sheer muscle and sweat. Competition, technology and the desire of employees to be meaningfully involved in their work are powerful forces shaping the leader?s destiny and future role. The need for service, quality, and effectiveness in organizations is stimulating a demand for employees who think, act, and feel like responsible partners in the enterprise. Now and in the future, reinvigorating employees, managers, and peers through coaching will be critical to the success of both leaders and business. More than ever, leaders need to inspire employees with contagious enthusiasm in order to deliver quality services and products. In CMOE?s coaching book, ?The Coach: Creating Partnerships for a Competitive Edge,? it provides refreshing ideas and strategies to help leaders cope with the demands and challenges of their calling.

How Does Sports Coaching Differ from Corporate Coaching?


Athletes Versus Employees

Courage and the Agony of Coaching Employees


Coaching employees on sensitive and personal topics like performance or contribution to the organization can be as difficult and agonizing as telling a young son or daughter about sex for the first time. You end up playing the same mental games in your head over and over again: ?What should they be told? How much do they already know? (Or how much do they want me to think they know?) How much detail should I go into?? If you are unable to answer any of these penetrating questions, you tend to put the task off for another six months. Eventually, you discover the harsh reality that there is very little they are unaware of, but a lot they don?t know.

Leadership Coaching at Gettysburg


The battle at Gettysburg is one of the most notable events in U.S. History. It is a battle where more lives were taken than in any other battle in North America. In this small farming community in 1863, George Meade?s Union Army comprising of 90,000 troops met Robert Lee?s Confederate Army of 75,000. We can read volumes of literature and accounts of heroes, leaders, front-line soldiers and others directly and indirectly impacted by the event. Certainly there are incredible leadership coaching and other lessons from the lives of these men and women and the strategic events which became the critical turning point in the Civil War.

Executive Coaching and Effective Learning


We?ve all been through training events?workshops, seminars, and courses that didn?t affect our behavior as much as we would have preferred. And while each provides valuable information and tools for increased productivity, most of us also understand what happens after the workshop is over. We return to our work, our offices, our lives?and the principles we learned are swept aside by a tidal wave of meetings, projects, and commitments. If we?re motivated, we find a moment to reflect on and consolidate a couple of relevant points, but industry studies show that most new learning is lost within a few days of the event?as much as 90% in some cases. So what?s the solution?

What Is A Personal Trainer


Imagine stepping into the gym for the first time in your life. There are so many machines and gadgets. What do you do first? Is this one safe? Are you using it right? There are so many questions to ask about trying to get physically fit as well. How much should you push yourself? How much is too much?

Leadership Coaching ? Easier Said Than done


Recently at a Pharmaceutical meeting in Europe, one of the presenters shared the results of a recent study that demonstrated that Managers who were trained in Eight Step Coaching Skills were out selling DM?s who were not trained in the program. This quantitative data seems to support that the cornerstone of success lies in effective leadership coaching and diagnosing the needs of the Representatives. However, it is not simply a matter of being trained. Managers must overcome day to day hurdles to be an effective coach. It takes a knowledge of the skills plus the courage to open up sensitive and important topics with others. It takes time, a precious commodity in a DM?s week. It takes self-control over our emotions when someone doesn?t measure up on an important mission that we, as Managers care about. When we coach, we run a risk of opening up conflict, differences, and misunderstandings that can create discomfort. In short, ?coaching is easier said than done.? But the results will be worth it if we are consistent and rigorous at using coaching skills.

Coaching Employees - The Chronic Excuser


Most of us find coaching employees to be an effective, even enjoyable, approach to leadership and management. Coaching provides a way to help team members grow and develop, while achieving business objectives. But occasionally, we encounter a team member who has an excuse for every situation. How can we help team members like this accept responsibility and focus on solutions, rather than dwell on the reasons why things aren?t accomplished? How can we ensure that we really gain commitment and consensus on plans, assignments, and projects
