...and aligning incentives with peoples’ needs, it can be done. Forward Path: The need of the hour is to identify key areas which are of utmost importance to improve the standards of rural schools in India and create a system where these schools compete with each other to achieve them. This will be accomplished through a four step process. Future Action: a) Priority areas will be identified from the current government agenda. They may include a maximum of 6 targets to ensure focus and effectiveness, such as (i) toilets for girls, (ii) enrolment rate for girls, (iii) dropout rate for girls, (iv) school attendance rate, (v) cleanliness and clean drinking water facility in schools, (vi) innovative methods applied to upgrade school infrastructure (like water harvesting, school beautification, etc.). b) Once the priorities are decided, primary (leadership role) and secondary (support role) stakeholders, who will drive fast track implementation, will be identified. The stakeholders will take initiative/ coordinate and follow up with existing responsibility owners to ensure fast implementation/ accomplishment of priority targets. One school will be represented by one primary stakeholder, who can be a teacher(s) or a passionate individual/ organization. The primary stakeholder will have to voluntarily enroll in the competitive process after due vetting by the panchayat and block development officer. The secondary stakeholders will be pre-defined and may include panchayat, parents...

...Marlana Wallace Performance Management Case Study - Five Coaching Power Words 06/25/13 Development, Building Relationships, Direction, Accountability and Results: What these five coaching power words mean to me. Development means to generate insights from within, develop an understanding of system dynamics, foster leadership qualities, enact immediate and lasting change, streamline and improve internal processes, promote consistent communication among global team members, identify and correct failed strategies, and develop strategic alignment between divisions to achieve broad corporate initiatives. Great leaders know that to do this in a long-term, sustainable way their number one priority must be the growth and development of their people. There is an old line that if you are not developing your people then you are becoming indispensable which means that you cannot be promoted. There are a number of ways to help your people grow and develop, including giving them new challenges and opportunities, timely and constructive feedback, formal instruction, mentoring, and coaching them for success. Each of these has its own art, with the art of coaching being often misunderstood. Coaching is not about fixing others’ weaknesses, it is about inspiring them to achieve their full potential and giving them the tools with which to do so. If you develop your people so that they can do more of the work, then there is less demand on you, and your people are helping their own careers...

...United States Military Academy at West Point. It was there they began to build a relationship of trust and respect that would follow and remain with them throughout both of their careers and beyond, as they were also friends. Each of these men have differing ways in which they lead their teams, but there are leadership styles which they shared when it came to coaching. When taking the model which Robert Katz developed we can see there are skills that did account for their success. Coach Knight held two of the leadership traits that were professed by Katz. Those were technical skills and conceptual skills. He had the ability to know exactly was needed and how to make changes based on each individual situation. According to Katz’s model, Coach Knight did not have human skills. He was known for his roughness (e.g; using high levels of profanity and throwing objects onto the court). He did not have human kindness or humble qualities. A professional career basketball player by the name of Isiah Thomas was also coached by Coach Knight. Thomas remarked that Coach Knight was intimidating and used much profanity while coaching him. (Alford, 1990) The contrast is apparent when comparing Coach K. to Coach Knight. When examining Katz’s model, Coach K. possessed conceptual and human skills. Coach...

...Definition of Coaching: The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) list some characteristics of coaching in organizations that are generally agreed on by most coaching professionals: - • It consists of one-to-one developmental discussions. • It provides people with feedback on both their strengths and weaknesses. • It is aimed at specific issues/areas. • It is a relatively short-term activity, except in executive coaching, which tends to have a longer timeframe. • It is essentially a non-directive form of development. • It focuses on improving performance and developing/enhancing individuals skills. • It is used to address a wide range of issues. • Coaching activities have both organizational and individual goals. • It assumes that the individual is psychologically healthy and does not require a clinical intervention. • It works on the premise that clients are self-aware, or can achieve self-awareness. • It is time-bounded. • It is a skilled activity • Personal issues may be discussed but the emphasis is on performance on work.

When you work with a business coach, you commit to being your best in business and in life. The business coaching relationship is simple and working with a business coach forges a foundation for the success that any manager wants most in business. In the business environment, coaching and training team is imperative to have within your HR department; the tools provided by these two teams in a company are one of the key elements to success to any organization. As anybody knows, companies have a diverse number of employees that might need additional assistance depending on their background (language, religion, etc.), level of knowledge and skills. When situations like this arises in any organization, the HR in particular should have a coach to assist any employee to help the open up and share the problem that they are going through even thought, it might be related to other employees, the supervisor, or the job itself. At this point is when coaching becomes a feedback for any manager...

...What is Leadership? Leadership is a process of getting things done through people. Leaders are getting things done by working through people. Leadership has been described as the "process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”. (Chemers, M. M. (2002). Meta-cognitive, social, and emotional intelligence of transformational leadership: Efficacy and Effectiveness. In R. E. Riggio, S. E. Murphy, F. J. Pirozzolo (Eds.), Multiple Intelligences and Leadership.)1 In today’s world, definition of leadership is changing. A leadership guru, Barry Posner, makes the following observations about the needed change in how business leadership is viewed: In the past business believed a leader was like the captain of a ship: cool, calm, collected. Now, we see that leaders need to be human. They need to be in touch, they need to be empathetic, and they need to be with people. Leaders need to be a part of what’s going on, not apart from what’s going on.1 Leadership Behaviors Noted leadership researchers House and Podsakoff have summarized the behaviors and approaches of great leaders that they drew from modern theories (e.g., charismatic and transformational) and basic research findings as follows1: Vision; Great leaders articulate and ideological vision that is congruent with the deeply held values of followers, a vision that describes a better future to which the followers have a moral right. Passion and self-sacrifice;...

...Amber Deol How effective is coaching in modifying undesirable employee behavior? Introduction Coaching is a means of providing feedback in an attempt to enhance current skills, build new ones or provide insight and guidance to encourage confidence and motivation in the workplace. This essay will examine whether coaching can act as a deterrent for employees who exhibit undesirable behaviors by examining how businesses use coaching as well as analyzing several interviews about coaching with current supervisors who have had experience with coaching in their organization. Coaching No matter what organization you look at, in any part of the world, there will always be performance issues regarding employees, there is no possible way to eliminate all problems but steps can be taken to minimize this issue. Coaching whether formal or informal has been a part of business since its inception; it has evolved from employees seeking advice and guidance from a supervisor or manger to organizations implementing professional coaching sessions that allow employees one on one time with superiors to assess performance, keep updated on progression and to instill confidence. To properly address behavior that is unwanted in employees a manager has to attempt to understand the root of the problem, is it Laziness? Lack of motivation? Or some other outlying factor that the manager is not aware of. Coaching allows for communication between employees and managers that is essential to maintaining a...

...let our ego rule the way our brains set up our priority list. If we win, that’s good. If we lose, instead of engaging in a self-analysis of what we, as the coach, might have done wrong and hopefully correcting our mistake, we many times point the blame elsewhere, usually in the direction of the kids on our team. Added to this dilemma, is the contributing fact that if you are still a competitive runner, it only amplifies the ego effect even further. When the gun goes off during one of your own races, you automatically go into competition mode. Add that to the natural inclination of any coach going through the same thing with their team, and it becomes a double dose of adrenaline, which can easily turn into an overly emotional disaster, if and when we “fail.” How am I so sure that this phenomenon is true? What I just described could’ve easily have been me during my first few years in coaching....

...Team Coaching in the Hospitality Industry Introduction Our generation has always been overwhelmed by the never-ending technology evolutions, by a competition that everyday seems to be fiercer and by the constant pursuing of innovation and diversification. Surrounded by this very tough technological environment, we tend to forget that human capital is one of the greatest and most important factors of an organisation and that success mostly depends on the ability of developing our personal potential in order to obtain an outstanding performance. The hospitality sector in particular, involves a service that mainly depends on the people providing it. Therefore, the human capital is the most important one. This is the reason why we can compare the role of a hotel manager to that of a team coach. His duty is to guide and stimulate people towards the achievement of common goals and objectives. In relation to an article I found in the Italian newspaper “Il Corriere Della Sera” (D’antogno, Pignatelli 2004), organisations have started to hire sport coaches in order to motivate and stimulate their own teams. Results of statistics are astonishing: the productivity increases, the working mood improves and the harmony in the office grows in such a way that colleagues feel more and more part of a real team and in some cases they even end up going out or having lunch all together. Among the many examples, the one of Ettore Messina in particular caught my attention. Messina is one of...

...experience with a mutually agreed goal of having the less skilled person grow and develop specific competences.” (pg Xiii) I have enjoyed this kind of informal mentoring and have gained much from working with different colleagues, as each NQT brings something different as part of their personality and experiences. More recently and more formally I have mentored a final placement PGCE student and this academic school year, who I am basing this portfolio on, an NQT student and a first year PGCE student. Both of which have been totally different mentoring and coaching experiences especially with mentees being at different stages of their career. A number of writers/researchers hold the debate over the definition of coaching and mentoring. With the NQT student I feel I have taken on more of a coaching role for example Whitmore (1995) as cited in Rhodes (2004) suggests that coaching is: “Unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” (pg 25) Similarly Downey (2001) in Rhodes (2004) discusses the idea that the role of coach is one of facilitator. I believe that these definitions represent more closely the...

...Topic 6 Journal Entry: Priorities Katy M. Digby Grand Canyon University: UNV 303 March 16, 2014 I have a couple of personal obstacles in each category but to name one would be my family time. I enjoy after work spending time with my daughter and helping her out with her homework. This still gets done but I have noticed she is relying more on herself now that my time has been strained. Professionally I have made a few phone calls to the college and received some as well during work hours. Fortunately my boss is accommodating since I am improving my career with a higher education. The main academic obstacle I have had is re-organizing my agenda to be able to assign time for class work. I am forfeiting a little bit of time in those two departments to make time for school. Deciding priorities is done so in a manner of importance. I make a mental list of things I need to complete ranging from top priority to not so important. For instance I rate grocery shopping higher on the list than getting my nails done, or paying rent supersedes paying for college books. Some decisions are more difficult than others but if I can identify its importance I can place it in my mental list. Prioritizing school is as simple as making a plan, rating it in my mental list, and then doing the task. If I implement what I just mentioned school will be a breeze with limited sacrifice and stress. This will result in a higher GPA and will have a "snowball" effect and motivate me to continue...
