The Bible gives an account of when sin entered the world the in chapter three of Genesis. Here the reader learns how God became conflicted with Adam. Adam quickly became conflicted with Eve and blamed her for the situation at hand. Not to be undone, Eve became conflicted and blamed the serpent for their troubles. Eventually Adam turned the tables and blamed God for the whole ordeal (NASB).

...accepted coaching methods in the workplace is the GROW model. Coaching lets a coachee become more aware of what they can do with their life and prepares them to take more accountability for it. This technique is achieved through sessions, as in: ➢ Goal ➢ Reality ➢ Options ➢ Will In the Goal stage, the coach enables the coachee to establish where they want to be or what they want to achieve. Once the coachee creates some goals for themselves, the coach and coachee work together to define the goals as clearly and distinctively as possible. But also as stated in Whitmore’s book, “Even if goals can be only loosely defined before the situation is looked at in some detail, this needs to be done first” (Whitmore, John. 2002, pg. 67). In the Reality stage, the coachee’s goal is evaluated against where they stand right now. This is where a test of the skills and/or knowledge the coachee possesses is made and it is determined what skills and/or knowledge is required to accomplish their goal. In the Options stage, the coachee builds on various potential paths between the current reality and the goal they want to complete. The solution is not to find the “right” answer but to take full advantage of the choices available. In the final stage, the Will stage, the coachee needs to commit to and take responsibility for carrying out the agreed action plan. My workplace and classmate coaching experience...

Background Nowadays, coaching has become one of the concepts in leadership and management.

Meanwhile, after the coaching process, the leader could learn some experiences about this kind of thing which he just coached with, he could handle this thing smoother if he encountered next time.

...others and I have complied and agreed to the University statement on Plagiarism and Academic Integrity on the University website at www.students.utas.edu.au/plagiarism. Critical reflection on my coaching experience: An ongoing journey Coaching is a relatively new professional field that has increased in popularity during the past decade (Tompson et al, 2008). Despite several different definitions of coaching and ways to understand or categorize coaching practice, all coaching’s approaches have a common denominator: the goal of achieving changes in the client. Depending on the coach’s beliefs and methods and also on the client’s objections, the nature and expression of the changes will be varied and may be defined in two ways: perceptual or cognitive; (Meyer 2010) and concrete behavioural changes (Kress, 2008). In March 2012 I commenced a course that involved participating in coaching relationship external to my current organisation. Prior to the commencement of this relationship I completed a 360° feedback survey on core leadership and management competencies. Findings from the survey facilitated the development of an individual action plan that assists me to extract optimal value from the program. This exercise also informs and guides the coaching process. The stated aim of this coaching relationship is to promote and accelerate my personal and career development. This is achieved through regular face to face meetings and telephone conversations. These occasions promote open communication...

The most effective managers are those who can coach and collaborate. If one is able to coach their employees effectively then they are able to create sustainable long-term results for themselves and their company. Coaching is action of helping others to perform better, whether it is through feedback, demonstrations, or teaching.

By coaching your employees, you become a transformational leader who enhances as well as generates new experiences for employees, thus gaining a stronger level of commitment from them.

...Case Study: Marathon Runners at Different levels By: Alain Kayembe Questions 1. Based on the principles of SLII model, how would you describe the runners in group 1? What kind of leadership do they want from David, and what kind of leadership does David seem prepared to give them? The runners in Group 1 some runners are novices and don’t have any marathon’s experience at all. According to the SLII model, the group 1 could be categorized as having a low to some competence with a low commitment (D2). It seems like they are expecting from David a type of leadership that requires a high directive and high supportive in his coaching approach. Unfortunately, David doesn’t seem to be prepared to give them that type of leadership as he finds their questions and concerns somewhat annoying. 2. How would describe the fit between the runners in group 2 and David’s coaching style Discuss. Clearly, it’s a total mismatch between what the runners expect from David as a coach, versus what he’s willing and able to do for them. First, the group is looking for David’s coaching approach to be more direct and supportive with all hands on all aspects of their training. In contrast, David seems to be coaching passively, almost like delegating everything to the runners. 3. The experienced runners in group 3 appear to be a challenge to David. Using SLII, explain why David appears ineffective with this group. The approach David is taking with this group is ineffective by itself...
