Progressively more companies are looking seriously at the skill of coaching for a method of developing and boosting the performance of their employees and teams. The more educated organisations now insist that most line managers are qualified in the skill of instruction whilst others are going further and creating specialist 'coach' roles in order to support staff and teams within the enterprise. There are however six major difficulties that the internal company trainer has to face and overcome before they can really shine in their coach role and therefore bring tremendous benefits in order to themselves the employees and the business itself.
In this article Performance Discipline Allan Mackintosh who was himself an internal company coach for six years outlines these types of six major challenges the internal Mentor has to encounter and ways that the mentor can face these daily life.
Challenge No . 1 Crew recruiting of Coaches
Correct hiring is vital in any role in case the organisation is to get the maximum for employees and it is no various in relation to the recruitment of coaches. Great care has to be taken to recruit the right person in terms of their beliefs and the potential to take on the necessary set of skills that is required for a competent instructor. When I first became an internal firm coach in the pharmaceutical industry the recruitment was done internally with some people seen as potential coaches but the the greater part coming from a pool of 'potentially redundant' line managers who had been in this position after a significant company restructure. The result was that certain individuals were 'forced' into a role in order to be within the company. This was definately not ideal and as a result a number of people would not take to the role as well as subsequently left the business. Others stayed in the position but really struggled to fight the role of the instructor and actually behaved more like 'trainers'. In order to avoid these challenges enterprises really have to take great attention in the selection process of instructors in order that they get the right people using enough potential to become great coaches in the workplace. Shoddy recruiting only leads to great economic loss in the long run Those workers wishing to become coaches really should look at what they really consider about people and if they do not believe that everyone has the potential for being excellent in any role these people undertake then they might want to think twice about becoming a coach. If you do not believe in people then do not become a coach
