Eric Dombach speaks about the future of coaching
This year looks challenging for the majority of businesses and managers, and Eric Dombach states that this is a positive aspect for the future of coaching, coaching is needed whenever an organization needs new principles and new methods to obtain profits, and in our current economic situation of financial recession, a large number of companies need a breath of fresh air in order to avoid loses or even worse, bankruptcy.
Eric Dombach says that his services are mostly required to increase the efficiency of cash flow within the company, or at least a consolidation of it. Eric Dombachstarts this kind of coaching by disputing the capacity of the organization to sustain a change in the system. In other words, he asks the leader that is present at the respective meeting if the development plans for the next period include a change in the way people work and interact. If such a change was considered, the task of the trainer is eased. If the leader still imagines that only the behavior of a few people needs to be changed, it is important to establish a few coaching meetings with the respective persons.
The second step required is some kind of prospecting the experience of the organization, and its capacity of changing and evolving. It is important to establish when it was the last time when the company suffered major changes, what results were obtained, and which were the measurements taken in those cases. The common point is the perception of opportunity. If the employees of the company are young and oriented to a change, it is easy to implement the necessary changes for the company to succeed.
According to Eric Dombach, the third step required is a minimal set of rules. If you are able to understand the dynamics of the respective company, you will be able to implement the necessary changes effectively. The process of thinking and the dynamics of the relations are fundamental for a successful change, and the change only happens when all the people involved are ready for the respective change. If people have enough liberty at the workplace, they will add quality to the work, out of pride. The traditional system treat people as kids, expecting them to behave like adults, and this is the most important part that needs to be changed by the coach, and also his hardest task.
