Coaching as a tool for personnel development
Coaching is an effective personnel development tool. Companies are increasingly seeing it as a sensible investment and using it on an ongoing basis as a process supporting measure particularly for employees in leadership positions. Numerous surveys and studies confirm the success of coaching employees in technical and social skills. Coaching has the following advantages:
- Neutral, independent and discreet
- Situation specific
- Successful transfer into practice
Situation specific
Coaching takes place only on a one-to-one basis or in very small groups. Therefore, in contrast to classical leadership seminars, whereby knowledge is imparted through case studies, coaching focuses exclusively on specific problems which occur in specific situations. Problem- and emotion-oriented learning improves immediate performance as well as the ability to change.
