Background

Why we need coaching? Why is effective coaching the key to organizational success
in the 21st century? The reason is simple – the role of managers have changed
fundamentally over the last decade and a new approach to people management is
essential for companies to succeed. Historically the evolution of coaching has been
influenced by many other fields of study including those of personal development,
adult education, psychology (sports, clinical, developmental, organizational, social
and industrial) and other organizational or leadership theories and practices. Since
the mid-1990s, coaching has developed into a more independent discipline and
professional associations such as the International Coach Federation have helped
develop a set of training standards

What is not coaching?
4
Coaching is not just another form of management or supervision. As
we will see, the key to successful coaching lies in the individual’s
willingness and ability to identify their own abilities or shortcomings
and to take action as needed. The coach can’t just tell the person
what to do, nor can the individual become too reliant on the coach’s
views and suggestions. The individual must be an active participant
in the process at all times and accept ultimate responsibility

What are coaching skills? (1/2)
14
• There are number of approaches to coaching.
• At present, these include Transpersonal, Solution Focused Coaching,
Cognitive-Behavioral and Co-Active.
• Although many individuals train as professional coaches, with a number of
courses, being university accredited starting from basic certificated training
through to that of PhD, the basic skills of coaching are now often taught to
managers in the form of two to four day training programmes.
• Few decades back managers were allowed to undergo “counseling”
session. However, the term ‘counseling’ was often felt to be an inappropriate
one as it tended to suggest that those who would benefit from such
interventions, were linked to the needs of a clinical population.
• The term coaching has none of these negative connotations and is regarded
as a way of helping individuals to maximize their performance.

Coaching is a business. You need to
sell yourself, schedule your time,
invoice clients, pay taxes and so on.
This need not be complex for a
business of one person.
Running your
business
Integrity
It is the duty of the coach to keep the
deep and dark secrets within them
and they should not share this even
with their life partner
Resilience
As a coach you have to control your
emotions. There will be more
negative aspects than positive things
sometimes.
Insight
Whilst connecting with others, you
also need to be able to stand back
and look critically at them, seeing
their inner issues and the way
forward for them.

Social Grease versus Coaching Communication
25
Help and
Support
Give approval and praise to others.
Tell others what you believe will make
them feel good about themselves.
Reduce their feelings of heart by
telling them how much you care, and,
if possible, agree with them that
others acted improperly
Increase other people capacity to
confront their own ideas, create a
window into their own ind, and face
their unsurfaced assumptions, biases
and tears by acting in these ways
towards other people
Respect
for Others
Defer to other people, and do not
confront their reasoning or actions
Attribute to other people a high
capacity for self-reflection and self-
examination without becoming so
upset that they lose their
effectiveness and sense of self-
responsibility and choice. Test this
attribution
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Social Grease versus Coaching Communication
26
Strength Advocate your position in order to
win. Hold your own position in the
face of advocacy. Feeling vulnerable
is a sign of weakness
Advocate your position, and combine
it with inquiry and self-reflection.
Feeling vulnerable while encouraging
inquiry is a sign of strength
Honesty
• Tell other people no lies, or tell
others all you think and feel
• Stick to your principles, values
and beliefs
• Encourage yourself and others to
say what they know yet fear to say
Minimze what might be otherwise
subject to distoration and covering
up the distoration
• Advocate your principles, values,
and beliefs in a way that invites
inquiry into them and encourage
others to do the same

Creating a predictable future versus possible future

The context that shapes
your perspectives,
beliefs and assumptions

possibility, automatic
self, winning strategy
paradigms
History
Your unconscious
success formula; how
you compensate for
what is not possible;
how you maximize
winning and avoid
losing; the source of our
success and limitations
Winning strategy
The future you inherited
by staying in your
historical horizon of
possibilities, winning
formula, unwritten rules
of the game; what you
do to improve on the
possibly reacting to the
part
Predictable future
The future you invent by
unearthing what you
passionately care about
and declaring the
impossible possible; the
future that matters to
you enough for you to
invent your whole self
and your organization
Possible future

1. What unintented results are you getting?
Good questions to ask are:
2. How are you contributing to the unintented results?
3. How are you looking at the things now?
4. How do you need to look at things differently?
5. How could you look at the problem or solution in a different way?
6. Where are you stuck in an old pattern?
7. How do you need to shift your way of being, thinking, or behaving?

Coaching models – GROW model
32
One of the models named ‘The GROW model’ was developed by Sir John
Whitmore for developing coaching skills for Managers. The GROW (goals, reality,
options, wrap up) model provides structure for coaching discussions with more
experienced learners. For less experienced learners, the process can be time
consuming and often too complex. The GROW model has 4 clear stages

model
33
The seven-step problem-solving sequence
and accompanying questions that people
can ask themselves at each step:
Steps Actions
Evaluation
Which plans and strategies worked and

Problem identification Analyze the problem and challenge1
Goal selection What do I want to achieve?2
Generation of alternatives What can I do to achieve my goal?3
Consideration of the consequences Discuss the pros and cons4
Decision making What am I going to do?5
Implementation Time to do it!6

Coaching models – Shorter models
34
For instance, there are 2 models namely – STIR and PIE models
Select a problem
Target a solution
Implement a solution
Review outcome
Problem definition
Implement a solution
Evaluate outcome
The shorter models of problem-solving helps the manager to solve problems
quickly. These models are used for rapid processing of a problem. These
models provide the structure for coaching to take place, and once the process
is understood, the manager is then provided with the basic coaching skills
that he or she will require in order to make the coaching effective.

Coaching styles (1/3)
39
There is no one right way to coach. There are some skills required
and some fundamentals to be followed. Different individuals in
different situation need different approaches. The idea of
switching styles may seem odd to some – but it is justified given
the variety of experiences one is likely to encoutered during
coaching session. There are 5 different scenarios
The Supporter or Enabler
The Teacher The Parent
The Listener The Task master
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Coaching styles (2/3)
40
The Teacher: This is a traditional role. Here the coach is seen as someone with expertise
and knowledge that they can impart to more junior or less experienced staff members. For
e.g., a coach with experience in project management might be chosen to guide a new
manager who has just been assigned a major project
The Listener: This coaching style is quite different from previous one. As the name
suggests, the focus in this style is primarily on listening and the coach would either act as a
sounding board, an advisor or whatever the situation requires. There are many situations
where the ‘Listener style’ of coaching would be appropriate. Often individuals with specific
problems will need a safe place to vent their feelings or to seek help
The Supporter: This is a combination of teacher and listener. In this style, the individual
has a fairly clear idea of what they want to accomplish but need to do so. E.g. someone with
a fear of public speaking. An individual looking for help in dealing with a boss who is a bully.
A middle aged manager trying to plan the end of his career and ensuring retirement
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Coaching styles (3/3)
41
The Parent: In the Parent style, the coach becomes something of an authority figure and
needs to direct the coaching process with a firm hand. In these cases, the individual may be
reluctant to accept coaching or somewhat immature in general and strict guidelines need to
be set. In this situation the individual often resists coaching while simultaneously looking for
praise and validation from the coach
The Taskmaster: The Taskmaster, taken the ‘Teacher’ several steps further. In this style
the coach needs to be very firm in order to deal with fairly serious problem. The typical case
where this style comes into play is with the chronic underachiever who is performing far
below their potential
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Coaching downwards
42
Coaching downwards means coaching individual who
report directly to coach. There are several benefits for the
individuals because of this coaching culture. They are:
• Learn to solve own problems
• Improve managerial and interpersonal skills
• Have better relationships with colleagues
• Learn how to identify and act on development needs
• Have greater confidence
• Become more effective, assertive in dealing with people
• Have a positive impact on performance
• Have greater self-awareness and gain of new perspectives
• Acquire new skills and abilities
• Develop greater adaptability to change
• Improve work-life balance
• Reduce stress levels
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Coaching upwards
43
Coaching upwards, means the
relatively unusual situation of coaching
one’s superior.
The Idea In Brief
By coaching your
boss you're
helping him or her
understand how to
be a better leader.
The underlying
principle: We all
have blind spots.
The end result: A
deeper awareness of
the intricate
workplace
relationships that
govern successful
companies.
The benefit to you:
Since you're being
the change there's a
strong chance that
you will achieve the
growth you desire.
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Coaching sideways
44
Coaching sideways, means coaching one’s
colleagues or equals in the organization
In this type of coaching, each participant acts as both the coach and coachee (or client).
The result is a more collaborative leadership base committed to continuously becoming
more successful.
Benefits are
Enable leaders to give and receive ideas Share successful practices
Personal developmental plan Transfer training to workplace
Reduce isolation among leaders Encourage reflective practices
Establish collaborative norms More cohesive organizational culture
Build a shared knowledge base Accelerate leadership development

A new paradigm for Coaching
51
A leader is a coach and teacher versus commander and controller
The new paradigm of coaching is based on these guiding principles
Coaching is about standing in people’s greatness, not leadership lobotomies
Coaching is about creating impossible futures versus filling leadership
competency gaps
Coaching is about creating a winning game plan versus fluffy mission
statements
A Coach is a transformational agent, not a purveyor of transactional tips and
techniques
Coaches focus on the scoreboard and relationship needs to be robust - more
like an NFC football Coach with the quarterback versus a typical consulting
engagement
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Masterful coaching wheel
52
Masterful Coaches inspire people to go to for extraordinary resuts and then call
forth for actions that are needed. This creates a pull for new leadership
competencies
It allows you to get a
handle on coaching
people of years time
It tells you what is
involved in producing
break-through results
It tells you how to

The executive coach is vested with the duty of the whole coaching project. It is his/her
responsibility to take surveys, interviews to gather initial and continuous feedback. The
following questions are considered important for measuring success
The coach has to probe for specific comments or answers if the reply given by the client
is general. The person conducting the interview will take careful, verbatim notes of all
comments and suggestions.
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Barriers to effective coaching
59
Setting a benchmark which is unrealistic to achieve
Mismatch between the coaches and the audiences The unclear role boundaries between the role of
manager and coach

in the program due to bias shown by the
management
Copyright © 2008 - 2012
Training the coach
60
To take up to the role of a coach, not everyone will be suitable. The candidates selected should be able
to coach and train others and they should be released from their own job function
To be a good trainer one should demonstrate the following skills:
Good verbal skills: The trainer should have the ability to listen, good presentation skills, ability
to summarize information, experience of giving feedback.

  • 39. Coaching styles (1/3) 39 There is no one right way to coach. There are some skills required and some fundamentals to be followed. Different individuals in different situation need different approaches. The idea of switching styles may seem odd to some – but it is justified given the variety of experiences one is likely to encoutered during coaching session. There are 5 different scenarios The Supporter or Enabler The Teacher The Parent The Listener The Task master Copyright © 2008 - 2012
  • 40. Coaching styles (2/3) 40 The Teacher: This is a traditional role. Here the coach is seen as someone with expertise and knowledge that they can impart to more junior or less experienced staff members. For e.g., a coach with experience in project management might be chosen to guide a new manager who has just been assigned a major project The Listener: This coaching style is quite different from previous one. As the name suggests, the focus in this style is primarily on listening and the coach would either act as a sounding board, an advisor or whatever the situation requires. There are many situations where the ‘Listener style’ of coaching would be appropriate. Often individuals with specific problems will need a safe place to vent their feelings or to seek help The Supporter: This is a combination of teacher and listener. In this style, the individual has a fairly clear idea of what they want to accomplish but need to do so. E.g. someone with a fear of public speaking. An individual looking for help in dealing with a boss who is a bully. A middle aged manager trying to plan the end of his career and ensuring retirement Copyright © 2008 - 2012
  • 41. Coaching styles (3/3) 41 The Parent: In the Parent style, the coach becomes something of an authority figure and needs to direct the coaching process with a firm hand. In these cases, the individual may be reluctant to accept coaching or somewhat immature in general and strict guidelines need to be set. In this situation the individual often resists coaching while simultaneously looking for praise and validation from the coach The Taskmaster: The Taskmaster, taken the ‘Teacher’ several steps further. In this style the coach needs to be very firm in order to deal with fairly serious problem. The typical case where this style comes into play is with the chronic underachiever who is performing far below their potential Copyright © 2008 - 2012
