Executive Coaching

This unit will explore the central role of coaching for managers. Because management is based on relationship to other people, coaching is essential to a manager’s performance. Coaching is above all concerned with effective execution. It is the study, awareness and development of those skills that enable managers to encourage their team, department or group to execute with excellence. Effective coaching requires more than an understanding of the technical know how of the business and includes an understanding of the “people” dimension of organisations. Coaching is vital for working effectively with the culture, the politics and the human relationships dimensions of organisations. It is empowering for managers in building relationships. In this unit a number of frameworks and a range of coaching skills will be developed. Participants will be given the opportunity to match frameworks with their experiences as managers.
