Background
Coaching skills are management skills
The most significant man-management skills are building rapport, active listening skills & questioning techniques that harness the power of both language & emotion. These are the foundation to excellent communication & leadership. Training senior managers in coaching skills is therefore one of the most essential skill sets they’ll need to succeed. Incredibly many managers recruited or promoted to senior positions, where these skills are essential, have never been taught them. Senior people often have a reticence around asking for or seeking these them out for fear of exposure or seeming unworthy of their role. Organisations need to take control of this by both acknowledging the need for, & initiating, such essential training for their most valued people.
Essential
Over 80% of staff turnover is due to poor line-management. Staff engagement is down to senior leadership’s ability to understand & show value for their staff. Middle-management in particular need to align their people’s value to the goals of the organisation. Interestingly, this role above all others seems to demand the highest EQ within organisations. Coaching skills amongst other things facilitates this alignment of values to goals.
As computers replace ever more (in particular manual) roles, there will also be increased danger of losing the human touch, the connection to what serves people most. This will mean the remaining human roles will require greater emphasis on people skills. For organisations to thrive they increasingly need to improve the way they develop & retain their best people. Coaching skills are a vital component in this.
