| The professional coaching
of leaders in business is a relatively new industry. Active over
just the past 20 years, and having received recognition as a profession
for just the last 10, professional business coaching and professional
business coaches are just coming into their own. During the early
years, our titles evoked images of sports and sports’ activities.
Even today, many think a coach deals with personal or emotional
development. And candidly, most coaches are “life” or
“personal” coaches. However, there are a few of us who
choose to partner with business people in the growth and development
of their companies and employees. These coaches generally rely on
many years of corporate and/or entrepreneurial experience as a backdrop
against which we examine the real-life dilemmas of our clients.
Every business is unique and every business is the same. Issues
which confront a business leader are generally not new. The issue
is only new to that leader. And although the issues which confront
a business person are varied and wide in nature and impact, the
partnering which occurs with a seasoned business coach, allows
the creative thinking by the client which often provides the answers
to that client’s questions. Typical issues may consist of
obtaining clarity of vision, and then the articulation of strategies,
tactics, and operations which support that vision. Other leaders
may concern themselves with a direct-report communication break,
development of leadership skills, or taking their company to the
next level.
