The essence of executive coaching is helping leaders get unstuck from their dilemmas and assisting them to transfer their learning into results for the organisation. —Mary Beth O’Neil
COACHING
Organisational or executive coaching is defined as;
“a helping relationship formed between a client who has managerial authority and/or responsibility in an organisation and a consultant who uses a wide variety of behavioral techniques and methods to help the client achieve a mutually identified set of goals to improve his or her professional performance, development and/or personal satisfaction and, consequently, to improve the effectiveness of the client’s organisation.” (p. 225, Sherin & Caiger, 2004)
Coaching is a rapidly growing area in the leadership development field and is fast becoming the tool of choice for executive and management positions. Coaching is essential in the success of organisations as it utilises established methods for enhancing the learning, insight and professional development of leaders. It is also commonly used to help overcome the stumbling blocks that hinder business growth.
