Great article and so true. Coaching is seen more and more to be part of the leadership strategy and ongoing managment development.
Too often people focus on ‘going on a course’, when they really just need that quality 1:1 space!
I think your article is a nice piece. However, are you able to think of some objections to contradict your own opinion? Just to make it stronger and more believable. I guess it will make your article more mature an valuable. Regards Bob Lowsius personal coaching games developer for trainers and coaches.
ReplyAnnie Thanks for your feedback which is greatly appreciated.
Bob in response to your question about te flip side, here are some thoughts:
1. It takes courage to be willing to look at you, your strenghts and gaps and you need to be ready to do this.
2. Sometimes a skills development course might well be the answer, coaching has its benefits but is not the only option.
3. It is not a quick fix and does require a commitment longer term.
Hope this adds to the content and thanks to both of you for your contributions.

ReplyIf my first manager had not introduced me to leadership development I would not have the lifestyle that I enjoy now. I owe Mr Attree a great deal over the years.
ReplyWithout leadership development training provided by my company I would still be stacking shelves. You really owe it to yourself to grab whatever training you can.
ReplyThis is a great article. For leadership, team building, and personal development, I have found the best way to get things started is to perform a neurological based assessment of left brain-right brain preferences. When you see the results from that, everything sort of falls into place.
