What Works and How Improvements are Achieved
Did you know that 4 out of 5 change/improvement programs fail? In other words only 1 program in 5 actually achieves their stated objectives in organizational performance. There are a number of reasons for this huge failure rate which we can explore at another time.
When I started my career back in the 70s the prevailing Management thinking was based on the assumption that, to get improved performance organisations needed to get their people to change their attitudes – and performance would improve, as a consequence.
Training was seen as the way to achieve change in attitudes or ‘cultural change’. Huge sums were devoted to this well-intentioned purpose.
But change often did not happen or was short-lived.
Organisations (and Change Agents), in spite of solid research and passionate effort, found themselves ‘like a golfer trying to make a hole-in-one by teeing off on the deck of a boat in a stormy sea’. (Apologies for the mixed metaphors).
One key reason for failure was ever-constant rate of change (inside the organization and in the business world at large), which, by the way, is accelerating at the present time.
So, I decided that my challenge was to assist people to be All That They Can Be, given the circumstances that they found themselves in. Indeed, offering a more pragmatic approach, that brought better results, and sooner, than organizational culture change strategies could deliver.
Leadership/Executive Coaching was the answer to helping managers to be more effective at their role and to experience greater job satisfaction at the same time.
To Be All That You Can Be, it is so important to have the right coach. How do you find the right coach, for you?
Let’s consider the words of Professor Butler of Harvard Business School. He writes,
“Business coaches need to have a grasp of psychology, such as what motivates people, what are their values, thinking etc. Coaching is not mechanical. It brings to bear the coach’s knowledge of business, business politics (how things get done) and psychology (behavior/actions.
People who fail at coaching assignments typically have a program, a formula approach. (They say) ‘We’re going to give you all this feedback, you’re going to set some goals and then you will be a changed man or woman’ It doesn’t happen because it is not personal enough”
-Prof. Timothy Butler, Director, Harvard Business School’s Career Development Program
My Coaching is in keeping with Prof. Butler’s comments on effective Management/Leadership Coaching and designed around key rewarding success factors.
- Psychology – I engage a powerful theoretical and experiential knowledge of what blocks person’s higher achievement, and the transforming process essential to remotivating them and transforming their embedded limitations.
- Organisational Behaviour – My extensive training and work in Change Management, organisational behaviour and the values, behaviours and actions of organisational culture, including, communication, decision-making, and how individuals can work cooperatively with these factors.
- Business Knowledge – Work design, work processes, business politics, innovation, productivity, continuous improvement, dealing with change, customer/client satisfaction and building market share.
My approach is a dynamic, on-going process. It ‘evolves’ along with the client. I challenge and support my coaching clients in achieving their desires, and in doing so sooner. I am fully committed to their goals, and I am a loyal supporter and trusted confidant.
Professionalism, an understanding of company culture, trust, openness, non-judgemental listening, empathy, integrity and confidentiality, to me, are all vital to successful coaching.
