The odds are you’ve already come across coaching in some form. Even Dilbert mocks coaching—and there’s no surer sign of mainstream success than that.
Driving results through teams—the benefits of Coaching
Coaching is a powerful tool and one that should be used to help guide, direct and nourish our people to become better performers.
According to John Agno, a certified business and executive coach, “In today’s environment of changing technology and evolving organizations, coaching can have a strategic impact. It provides continuous learning and develops people to meet current and future needs. Coaching is an investment that you make in developing your key resource, people, for the long-term benefit of the organization.”
The essence of coaching lies in helping others and unlocking their potential.
Coaching is an important part of people development. Coaches provide an effective way for people to focus on areas they would like to increase performance. Sports is a good example of why coaching is effective.

Yet, today you’re probably not getting very effective coaching; and you’re probably not delivering very effective coaching. The reason is that the seemingly simple behavior change of giving a little less advice and asking a few more questions is surprisingly difficult. So, why would you want to build a coaching habit?
It lets you work less hard and have more impact; when you build a coaching habit. “THE COACHING HABIT: SAY LESS, ASK MORE & CHANGE THE WAY YOU LEAD FOREVER” by Michael Bungay Stanier is a practical and engaging self-coaching book to help managers coach more. By drawing on psychology, behavioral economics and neuroscience, this book can help managers embed a new behavior.
