First, ask yourself these two questions. Do you believe that your employees have more untapped potential than their current performance levels? And if yes, what is the opportunity cost of not using it to drive your business?
If you are like many of the Senior Executives we interviewed, then you must’ve answered ‘yes’ to the first one and your answer to the second question might probably be that it cost you a lot of time and money.
This is a common challenge faced by many businesses. The solution to this problem lies in coaching. In this era, coaching is a very important necessity to any organization; it’s not just a nice perk that accompanies the culture. Especially in a rapidly evolving era of hybrid workplaces, executives need support and coaching to help the leaders achieve their personal best.
If you are someone who leads a human resource department then you need to think about how you can implement a long-term strategy to integrate learning into everyday work by creating a culture of coaching within your organization.
