]]> Comment on Leaders ‘largely ineffective’ as coaches: DDI by Edwina Biucchi http://www.coaching-at-work.com/2011/06/26/leaders-largely-ineffective-as-coaches-ddi/comment-page-1/#comment-692 Edwina Biucchi Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:51:50 +0000 http://www.coaching-at-work.com/?p=6090#comment-692 I couldn't agree more that coaching as part of leadership is still not recognised as a necessary skill, and when it is, it is not well understood or practised regularly. Coaching your people does not need to be done in a formal way, once it is part of a leader's mindset, it can be used everyday in appropriate conversations. If coaching as a leadership style were more prevalent, then driving and managing change would be a lot easier, and so would the country's ability to weather the global storm, encourage a positive outcome from employees and lead from the future.

I think the answer is Yes for two key reasons: 1) If I am thinking or feeing, and judging something to be unethical and withold that reaction from my client then I am not fully present in the coaching work 2) Depending upon the topic for the session, there may well be a contact in place to enable a valid challenge.

I was involved in setting up a Mentoring programme a few years ago and it never really got off the ground. I don't think the organisation was ready for it. However, I agree that in the current situation where budgets are tight and people are stretched, that Mentoring could provide a really cost effective, impactful learning and development solution to both large and small organisations.
