Coaching principles Nr. 9 and 10. Does the coach understand our culture and business? And. Can we send our leader to a training instead?

Principle nr. 9

Does the coach understand our culture and business?

If a coach (or firm) has deep knowledge about your company, your industry, your culture and knows some of the key players. This surely helps to make more impact faster. It's recommended to work with a firm or a small pool of coaches that you both invest in.

Principle nr. 10

Can we send our leader to training or business school?

A business school can be an alternative for coaching. However, not always. Regularly the coachee needs individual learning and attention. And second: our experience is that the more senior the person is, the more they value one-on-one bite sized learning. They don’t want to be in a classroom but want something more personal and ‘exclusive’. You should expect a one-on-one coaching to make more impact.

This episode five of five of our series of 10 principles to get the best return of your investment when making coaching decisions. Enabling you to make better decisions. This is good for you, for the coachee and for the industry as a whole.
