Misconceptions About Executive Coaching That Managers Need To Be Aware Of
There is no denying the fact that coaching plays an important role in helping the executives within an organization to gain the essential skills and knowledge for sustained career growth. However, many executives tend to harbour various misconceptions about the coaching sessions organized by their employers, which can render the entire process ineffective for them. Discussed below are the most common misconceptions about executive coaching in China that are prevalent amongst the executives. The awareness of these misconceptions can help the managers to educate their executives about the pitfalls of harbouring such thoughts. 1. Coaching Is About Teaching The Executives To Do Things 2. Coaches Recommend The Best Solutions To Problems 3. Coaching Is About Getting The Answers To A Standard Set Of Questions 4. Coaches Tend To Instil Their Own Viewpoint 5. Coaching Is All About Listening Rather Than Speaking Many professionals tend to avoid executive coaching sessions as they feel that the coaches tend to instil their own viewpoint onto the people attending these sessions. However, the professional coaches from the ICF coaching firm in China, are of the opinion that these sessions provide as good a learning experience to the coaches as to the executives themselves. The coaches help the executives to look at things from a fresh and unique perspective and enable them to find their own solutions to problems. At the same time the executives help the coaches to understand the diverse perspectives of individual employees within an organization.
