Drive Performance
Coaching is one of the most appropriate tools for developing good performers. It is 'just in time', personalised, and doesn't require much downtime from productive work.
There are two approaches an organisation can take; build formal coaching programs and build the coaching skills of all leaders.
Drive Performance with Formal Coaching Programs
Coaching has a track record of success - improving the performance of sales managers, executives at many levels and people driving major projects. The coach helps the client define specific goals and stay on track over a defined time.
A mixture of internal and external coaches may be effective, though many organisations are finding the use of internal coaches is highly cost efficient. In this case, internal coaches will:
- Deliver coaching flexibly to busy top talent
- Provide long term resources for top talent
- Get to see what is happening across the business
- Benefit from improvements in their own performance
The internal coaches can be people from within hr, or line managers, or a combination. The coaches are usually volunteers, who undergo training and are provided with a clear coaching system to execute with their clients.

Build the Coaching Skills of all Leaders in an Organisation
Turning managers into coaches is a great way to improve the performance of a division or a whole organisation.
By using short, high impact learning interventions delivered over 2-6 weeks, you can:
- Help leaders lead performance instead of just manage it
- Teach coaching skills to a wide audience
- Help managers master giving effective feedback.
