All managers need some guidance on the whys and hows of coaching, but most organizations can’t afford to train them on a large scale, so the least you can do is make an effort to create a culture of coaching. The key is to create a pool of manager-coaches who can be role models, supporters and sustainers of a coaching mindset.
When you select the right people and invest in their development and position them as coaching advocates, you plant the seeds for expanding coaching well beyond the individual manager-direct report relationship. Your role models demonstrate effective coaching both formally and informally, and they help motivate others to use and improve their own coaching capabilities.
Always link the purpose and results of coaching to the business. Managers have to know the business case for coaching and developing others if they’re to value it and use it effectively. Where is the business headed? What leadership skills are needed to get us there? How should coaches work with direct reports to provide the feedback, information and experiences they need to build those needed skills? Set strategic coaching goals, tactics and measures for the organization as well as including coaching as an individual metric.

Retention is critical, and coaching supports employee
career/professional development and satisfaction, which keeps
valued employees.
Employees who are coached to performance rather than managed
to performance are more committed to and invested in the
outcomes of their work and achievement of organizational goals.
Successful organizations have also discovered that on-going training
of the workforce is necessary to remain competitive. However,
without coaching, training loses its effectiveness rapidly, and often
fails to achieve the lasting behavioral changes needed. While
training is an “event”, coaching is a process, which is a valuable next
step to training to insure that the new knowledge imparted, actually
becomes learned behavior

through to that of PhD, the basic skills of coaching are now often taught to
managers in the form of two to four day training programmes.
• Few decades back managers were allowed to undergo “counseling”
session. However, the term ‘counseling’ was often felt to be an inappropriate
one as it tended to suggest that those who would benefit from such
interventions, were linked to the needs of a clinical population.
• The term coaching has none of these negative connotations and is regarded
as a way of helping individuals to maximize their performance.

COACHING MODELS – GROW MODEL
23
One of the models named ‘The GROW model’ was developed by Sir John
Whitmore for developing coaching skills for Managers. The GROW (goals, reality,
options, wrap up) model provides structure for coaching discussions with more
experienced learners. For less experienced learners, the process can be time
consuming and often too complex. The GROW model has 4 clear stages
Establish Goals
Agree action
Wrap up
24. COACHING MODELS – THE 7-STEP PROBLEM-
SOLVING MODEL
24
The seven-step problem-solving sequence
and accompanying questions that people
can ask themselves at each step:
Steps Actions
Evaluation
Which plans and strategies worked and
amending our action plans7
Problem identification Analyze the problem and challenge1
Goal selection What do I want to achieve?2
Generation of alternatives What can I do to achieve my goal?3
Consideration of the consequences Discuss the pros and cons4
Decision making What am I going to do?5
Implementation Time to do it!6
25. COACHING MODELS – SHORTER MODELS
25
For instance, there are 2 models namely – STIR and PIE models
Select a problem
Target a solution
Implement a solution
Review outcome
Problem definition
Implement a solution
Evaluate outcome
The shorter models of problem-solving helps the manager to solve problems
quickly. These models are used for rapid processing of a problem. These
models provide the structure for coaching to take place, and once the process
is understood, the manager is then provided with the basic coaching skills
that he or she will require in order to make the coaching effective.
