People often go into organizations as workers wanting to serve other human beings but after time this desire to serve others dries up. In order to become effective coaches and to improve the inner workings and productivity of organizations, we need to understand the dynamic behind why this desire to serve others dries up. Coaching is the discipline designed to promote effective work at the individual level. Effective work is a function of a purpose, a commitment to realize a strategy to recruit, manage, organize and deploy the resources to accomplish the tasks necessary to achieve the purpose. Training differs from coaching in that the goal of training is usually to impart some skill or system to another person or organization who will master this skill through repetition.
Explanations can be powerful to take an idea to the next level.
One must be very aware if an explanation is a gateway or barrier to an idea or concept at a higher level. The Model of Coaching When coaching takes place, there is an observer, action and results. In order to change the action, the result, we must change the observer in fundamental ways, otherwise we are merely working on the symptoms. It is never enough, if we want to improve results, merely to give information. If we give information and even if that information is acted on, the change in results is temporary.
