Creating a Coaching Culture
Why Develop a Coaching Culture?
Command and control management and leadership is no longer effective in this fast-moving world. People need to be agile and respond to changing conditions on a moment by moment basis. For this they need a different type of management. One that empowers and facilitates.
This is the advantage of creating a coaching culture.
Creating culture, finding the right people, managing them to do great things and solving problems creatively and systematically are challenges faced by all organizations. Coaching can help your leaders and managers achieve more through their teams by creating culture, specifically through creating coaching cultures by developing a coaching management style which among other things:
- creates empowerment
- increases engagement
- develops people and performance
- improves creativity
- raises responsibility in employees
- avoids confrontation
This is the advantage of creating a coaching culture.
“We have implemented coaching in our organisation but not sure what value it is bringing to the business.”
What are the International Standards for Mentoring and Coaching Programmes (ISMCP)?
The International Standards for Mentoring and Coaching Programmes
(ISMCP) is an independent accreditation awarded to organisations designing, delivering and evaluating mentoring and/or coaching programmes either ‘inhouse’ or externally. It is an integral and essential step on the path to establishing the professional credibility and status of good mentoring and/or coaching programme management, ensuring programmes are:
- Thoughtfully designed
- Systematically managed
- Significantly contributing to the development of participants, strategic drivers of the organisation and wider stakeholder objectives.
The ISMCP is built on six core standards:
- Clarity of Purpose
- Participants and Stakeholder Training and Briefing
- Processes for Selection and Matching
- Effective Processes for Measurement and Review
- Maintains High Standards of Ethics and Care/Duty of Care
- Supports Participants Throughout the Process/Systems of Programme Administration
Bringing value to your business
When implementing coaching in your organisation, you need to ensure that you are seeing the desired results. Senior management will want to know:
- How well is the coaching experience meeting their organisation’s aspirations and goals?
- How does it contribute to stakeholder priorities?
- Is it easy for you to demonstrate a business return on your investment in coaching?
