The Employee Benefits of Manager Coaching

When employees work with an organization, they look to provide for their families and loved ones in the first instance. Once that's settles, they look for more. In coaching environments, there are many opportunities for employees to shine. Their skills and talents are so often hidden from view, that it takes the work and effort of a good manager with those skills to uncover just how capable they are.

Once a coaching culture is created, there are many benefits for employees, so it becomes a no-brainer. To see why, let's take a look at just thirteen of the employee benefits:-

• Develop their skills - bringing out the latent, yet sometimes hidden capabilities that are their potential

• Build confidence - with new skills, successfully being used, confidence grows and new opportunities open up

• Learn by doing - enhances the abilities to work at challenges in real-life situations, building self-esteem

• Feel fulfilled - once more successful, individuals feel good about themselves, taking this into their lives outside the workplace

• Enjoy their work - challenges stimulate and enthuse, where coaching supports this development, especially in a safe place to take risk

• Achieve more - coaching supports ongoing development, overlaying one success on the other, where there are no upper limits

• Get more personal reward - financial rewards come and whilst valued, are often secondary to the feeling of value they enjoy

• Enhance their CV - development through coaching support builds careers, even from a base where expectations are minimal

• Become solution-focused rather than problem-focused - anything's possible, rather than another difficulty in a sequence of difficulties

• Are pro-active - coached employees start to see this as a process where they can coach themselves too, without support, so fix problems with their new found confidence

• Ask less of you - because so often now, they can do it for themselves, contributing constructively, rather than being a burden

• Succeed - which breeds more confidence, more challenges undertaken and then more success - a virtuous circle

• Go home each night in a great frame on mind - and share their feelgood with their loved ones, enhancing family life too

So, with that comprehensive list of key benefits from a coaching environment, your employees are likely to be raring to go.

If you were not a manager with a coaching leaning in the past, perhaps you might be encouraged to take a closer look now!

Outlook Business Contact Manager - I've just installed the new Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager and am testing it out to see how good of a CRM system it is. I like the concept because it works right within your Outlook and I already have all my contacts and emails here. Does anybody have any experience with Business Contact Manager for Outlook?
Re: what position to request? - Hi Michael, Great suggestion from David, or you could try something around a design consultancy, How about Website Design Consultant, Design and Development Manager, Website Support and Development Manager or maybe Internet Business Development Consultant.

When Webhost providers go bad - I've had my websites on IPower for the last two years or so. I didn't really care much for their interface - geocities has one that's much better (but they angered me so I refuse to use them anymore) but I was used to it. For the last several months they've been "transitioning" to a new system, and now, finally, it's upon me, and I really, really hate their File Manager system. They've done [i:2kaa5kss]one [/i:2kaa5kss]good thing - you can now see the date that you last updated any particular file. Before that you never knew what date anything had been uploaded. But the rest of it is just clunky and bad and quite frankly, inept! I just shot off a pretty angry complaint letter to their "Help" desk, not that I think it will do any good. So I'm in the hunt for a new web service provider. Anybody here familiar with Geocities, but have some service provide [i:2kaa5kss]other [/i:2kaa5kss]than Geocities who has the same type of File Manager system as they do?
Post subject: It's Not Personal, just business - I so agree! Actually, the business world as we know it IS in trouble. I heard some stats last week that they expect by the time 2050 that 70% of workers will be freelancers. Employee/Executive Bullying won't be able to stand it when it could be easier for someone to simply contract with the nicer guy (or gal). I, for one, will be choosing the nicer ones!
