What happens when qualified coaches in the company organize themselves for the benefit of all the associates and their organization?
Earlier this year, I had the honor to contribute to Changement-Magazin by sharing how coaches at Bosch started a global movement called We coach Bosch, aligned with our vision statement #wearebosch.
With permission of the editor, I share the article which I translated into English.
We (Franziska, Benedikt and I) proudly present our brand new podcast „Hallo Kinder! Hallo Zukunft!“ which started as a project while participating the Agile Culture Coach course.
Our podcast is all about kids and how we can support them to grow up strong and competent for a bright future.
My experience is that, besides the skill set, the mindset you develop as a coach can also help you as a leader.
Whenever I hear from others how difficult it is to spare some days to invest in our future leaders, the following quote comes into my mind . . . . CFO asks CEO: “What happens if we invest in developing our people and then they leave us?” CEO: “What happens if we don’t, and they stay?” But this is only one perspective that I take from being engaged with our talents.
“Not a single training looks the same; and I reflect and adjust according to the learnings out of the recent round.”
"If your company's leadership training doesn't integrate coaching - then sadly they're behind the curve! If you are in a leadership role and coaching is not in your toolkit - then sadly you may be failing your followers!" — Will Sung
If you tackle an adaptive challenge with technical solutions, you might feel very productive but you are on the wrong track. And when does leadership take place?
Being encouraged by comments on my recent posts and via personal messages and conversations, I’d like to share how I came to coaching and why coaching is not only a skill set but also a mindset for me.
