The demands of a competitive business environment, the emergence of a more transformative approach to leadership, and the emphasis placed on employee empowerment and accountability have all resulted in the growth of coaching, mentoring, and other career development activities in workplaces worldwide. An effective coaching, mentoring, and career development process will include a range of techniques, including communication skills, counselling techniques, human psychological processes, and an understanding of human development.
We often hear record-breaking athletes say; I owe it to my coach; that’s because, however talented they are, athletes need a coach to improve their performance and competitiveness. Likewise, Companies and Organisations need to create a culture where coaching and feedback occur as a routine part of each day towards this strategic end.
