By Kim Johnstone,The University of Sydney Business School
I have just finished an intensive unit on coaching and performance management and it has been a revelation. Hands on from the start,students were required to have a“l(fā)ive coachee”for the six weeks of the course.
We jumped into our first coaching session with a work colleague after only one weekend of lectures – which was terrifying.
As someone who likes to talk,I found the formal coaching environment an excellent way to force myself to ask“good”questions and sit back and listen. Listening often revealed“hidden”issues,those things not talked about straightaway. It also meant I could challenge my assumptions about what my coachee wanted and how they worked.
Throughout the MBA we learn again and again how important it is to listen if we are to be effective leaders,and this course reinforced this. We were asked to record our coaching sessions so we could review how they went and my recordings showed I could talk even less. They also highlighted how important it is to ask open and clear questions.
As a leader I have learnt two important things from the course. First,do not underestimate the importance of providing the time and space to talk. My coachee commented several times about how useful it was to be able to talk about things,and have someone ask them questions they needed to think about.
Second,significant changes can come from small interventions. Throughout the course of our sessions,my coachee had a significant change in attitude to speaking up at meetings. It highlighted how you can lead change without needing big investment.
As a coach it has been highly rewarding to see someone think about things differently as a result of conversations that took place in my coaching sessions.
It is one of those great moments doing the MBA when you realise you have a new skill for life.
