Coaching
There
comes a time in our professional lives when we begin to ask
certain questions like; Am I stuck in my professional life?
Are my problems more than what I can handle? Am I facing problems
asserting myself? Is my future blurred?
All
these questions are normal and can be addressed through coaching.
Coaching may be defined as “a relationship between
an individual and a trained professional who work on a set of
pre-defined objectives with the aim of achieving particular
goals or targets”.
Coaching
is used at all levels of the organisation. Not necessarily is
it confined to middle or lower levels.

According to O’Shaughnesy “one of the fundamental
principles on which coaching is based is that nothing is ever
so good that it can't be improved. The reason for this is that
the higher up the skill hierarchy one goes, the more important
marginal improvements in performance become”.
Improvements in individual and organizational performance usually
come incrementally. It is inspired leadership that helps to
improve the performance of an organization, and so incremental
improvements in executive performance, through coaching for
example, are crucial for business success.
We
all have limited abilities and sometimes we have trouble finding
ways in which we can get out of our limited perception of our
selves. Many a times we fail to recognize our own potential,
but coaching can help us find the keys, which could open our
eyes to our latent potential.
Infact
now coaching networks have come up with new ways to build individual
and organizational development. They allow employees from across
an organization to come together in pairs as performers and
coaches who can help create a community of practice and knowledge
creation.
The general consensus is that coaching is here to stay. In its
many guises and styles, coaching will continue to contribute
greatly to personal and organizational development in the future.
