...Foundation Design: Coaching and Mentoring Introduction Organisations are increasingly evolving quicker due to globalisation and advances in industries and technology. These events have made market environments progressively more competitive and have changed the economic climate in which organisations operate. Unfortunately some organisations have had to implement restructures and reductions in workforce to ensure survival. Foundation Design are one of these organisations whose company size has gone from 1,513 employees to 780 employees. During the restructure of the organisation the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) identified that changes were required to its leadership profile and coaching and mentoring programmes. These changes were made to embed new skills and behaviours and support cultural change within the organisation. Why Coaching and Mentoring? Foundation Design are making steps to move towards a learning organisation, one that recognises the benefits in developing its employees, as individuals and teams. Learning is also seen as a step in the facilitation of behavioural change. The ‘Learning organisation’ was developed by Peter Senge (1990) and supported the need for learning and development of workforces, coaching is one way of making these developments. Coaching can support learning which is taking place through Leadership training and can assist in bridging the knowing-doing gap, by encouraging action to be taken.

...Coaching is a profound leadership mindset, but you have to believe in it first. Andrew Wood explains the big picture as follows: "Leadership is not a right of passage, or at least it shouldn't be. Leadership is a state of mind. A philosophy. An attitude. Understanding this, you can recognize and develop the key traits that will enhance and improve your personal capacity for leadership." Great leaders touch the lives of their followers through coaching. The key to consistent business success is to understand that people come before spreadsheets. The personal growth and coaching of their employees is put on top of the priority list and soon the results on the spreadsheets will follow. When you hear the word "coach," what comes first into your mind? Do you picture a sports team with someone shouting out directions or perhaps a frowning manager pacing to and fro and calling out the names of the players? Coaching is no longer reserved for sports teams — it is now one of the key concepts in leadership and management. So why has coaching become so popular in the business world? Coaching levels the playing field. Coaching is one of the several emotional leadership styles. Moreover, it is a behaviour or role that leaders enforce in the context of situational leadership. As a leadership style, coaching is used when the members of a group or team are competent and motivated, but do not have an idea of the long-term goals of an organization. This involves two levels of coaching: team and...

...their competencies, have an effective communication plan, and empower their employees with knowledge resulting in a highly motivated workforce. Several performance management strategies have been developed and implemented over the years; however effective and successful performance management systems continue to be a challenge. Over the past few years, organizations have adopted coaching strategies to help enhance their performance management system. With the adoption of successful coaching principles, organizations have seen higher performance outputs and overall job satisfaction. Loehr and Schwartz have described executive leaders as “corporate athletes” and suggested that to perform at high levels over lengthy periods of time they must train in the same systematic, multi-level way athletes do. (Loehr & Schwartz, 2001) The paper will discuss how business leaders, Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President of Operations at Walt Disney World® Resort, John Yokoyama, Owner of Pike Place Fish Market, and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Vincent T.

...Introduction Many organizations across all countries have recognized training as strategic priority and it is great tool to give an organization a competitive advantage. Trainings are divided into two broad types; there are on-the-job trainings and the off-job trainings. Off-job training takes place outside worksite and there are varieties of techniques and that includes conferences, simulations, discussions, case studies, and laboratory trainings…etc. However, these programs are very costly. On-the-job training, on the other hand, is given at workplace as the name implies; employees are trained how to do the job assigned while at work. It is the oldest form of training prior to the advance of off-site trainings and still the predominant form in the United States. OJT can save money, and employees are immediately productive in their job role, building in the same time, a solid working relationship. Nonetheless, there are some disadvantages of it is that sometimes bad habits from the trainer could be passed and production might be decreased to get the trainee up to speed. Also some of OJT are done on ad-hoc manner with no formal procedure or content, and during the process, no specific goals or objectives are specified or developed. Not to mention trainers; those usually have no formal or training experience on training. That is what we can call informal on-the-job training. Lynch (1991) supported that a formal or structured OJT approach is more specific to achieve the firm’s...

...Discuss the ways in which coaching psychology research might advance the practise of executive coaching Coaching psychology as a practise is a relatively new phenomenon which encourages an individual to realise and ultimately develop their personal strengths and attributes. Although it is a new practice, psychologists as a whole are yet to determine an exact definition of the meaning coaching psychology. However one of the most applicable definitions to this subject matter is “Coaching maybe defined as a goal - directed multifaceted process for enhancing people, work and life and, as an industry, it has and still is experiencing rapid growth” (Brock, 2006). This essay will examine coaching psychology and how its research will benefit the development of executive coaching and how previous research can enhance this particular sector in psychology. Some of the main areas that will be explored are how positive psychological research has informed this particular area as a whole, the relationship between a coach and client, what qualities make for a good coach and how future research can improve our knowledge and the practice of executive coaching. Positive psychology despite, being considered an applied science it is an empirical science by virtue of scientific method and research. Positive psychology is imperative to the practice of executive coaching as it concentrates on utilising an executives/managers ability to improve an “individuals traits which manifest themselves as...

... and has run a viable business for the last two years, I can only say that I wish Aryanne had written her book sooner. While there are many business start-up texts, for the coach thinking of setting up on their own, this packs genuine, practical advice into every page and is likely to become a definitive reference. It will confront you with the truth about setting up on your own – and sometimes not pull any punches with that. It’s there to keep you focused, and is just as useful to read when you’re 12 months into your business as when you’re starting out.’ DAMIAN GRIFFITHS | Director VProfessional Former IT Director Addleshaw Goddard and Eversheds ‘This is a book that presents an often complex topic in a logical, easy to read and readily digestible way that is immediately useful to anyone busy setting up their business. In particular the clear, concise chapters and subsections allow the reader to easily identify and focus on a particular area of interest, without having necessarily to read the entire book in one go. It can therefore be used informally as a ‘‘user manual’’ or as a formal, technical book.

The flatter organizational structure coupled by job insecurity among workers and particularly new one find it difficult to adjust to the new changes. The newly promoted staffs are also finding it difficult to adjust to the progress and develop quickly as they gain new skills and responsibility. Coaching is one of the best strategies that can be used to help these workers to be more adaptable and increase their flexibility. Coaches can use different learning styles to support a range of employee who need specialized skills in order to increase their performance. Since individual needs are highly diverse, a one size fit for all is obviously inappropriate. Thus, organization needs to develop new strategies that support the organization to tailor individual needs (Ellinger, Ellinger & Keller, 2013). Coaching can be used by managers to provide a flexible responsive development approach which can support many workers with diverse needs compare to traditional form of training...

There are so many changes and circumstances in today’s business world that has competitive pressures. In the twenty-first century stronger business can be built, with effective training and leadership skills. The success of our business world to day lies in the hands of our leaders. The key is the talent and know how of a leader and the dedication of its people. In order for business to prosper and survive in the twenty first century they must find individuals who want to lead people and those who can take up the reins of leadership for tomorrow. Today’s leaders must be able to manage themselves in a global environment. They must be capable of interacting with customers, employees, suppliers. Today’s leaders must understand their own reactions to change and transitions in order to coach others. Identifying your own personal flaws will help others in the process. To establish a good coaching relationship three things need to be established: commitment, rapport, and collaboration. Both coach and coachee must agree to the coaching process. Coaching addresses specific personal projects, business opportunities or general conditions in the coachee’s personal life or workplace.

...Coaching is a powerful tool based on the use of one-to-one discussions to enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge or work performance. Coaching targets high performance and improvement at work and usually focuses on specific skills and goals, although it may also have an impact on an individual’s personal attributes. I have outlined a brief description of 2 coaching models GROW and OSCAR in Appendix 1. There are a variety of different types of coaching available and I have identified 2 specific types, Coaching for Talent Development and Coaching through Change and explained what they are and in what type of work situation they could be used in Appendix 2 . There are also different styles to coaching. Non-directive coaching is coaching in the true sense of the word where the coach simply asks you questions to allow you to find your own solutions. A non-directive coach will certainly not offer you advice and rarely even give you suggestions, although through skillful questioning they will help you to see your situation from a different perspective, gain clarity, uncover options, challenge inconsistencies and hold you accountable to your actions. The great benefit of non-directive coaching is that an individual will take full ownership of their own solutions rather than ‘doing what you have been told to do.’ Through this approach an individual will feel a sense of empowerment to make changes. Directive coaching on the other hand is where the coach offers an individual solutions...

It refers to a relationship between an experienced person and a less experienced person for the purpose of helping the one with less experienced one, known as “the protégé”. The protégé seeks the advice and support of the more experienced person. The mentor provides proper guidance and counselling so that the less experienced persons can advance in their lives, careers or education. According to Scandura, Tejeda, werther & Lankau (1996, p. 50), in the mentoring process, mentors speedup nurturing environments wherein protégés many grow faster and more professional than their peers and are therefore better prepared to compete in the organization and as leaders.
