From its origins in sports, coaching is now all the rage in the business world. Executive coaches are springing up all over. All of this activity has developed because people need assistance in learning many skills that may be beyond what they went to school to learn. Natural mentoring systems have broken down, and the obvious mentors are too busy, or they don’t have the requisite skills for some of today’s demands.
The coaching leadership and management style is being recognized as a valuable asset for firms of all sizes. It appeals to the Generation Y/Millennials and diverse professionals who crave coaching and mentoring to accelerate their career development as well as partners who desire a more collaborative and collegial firm culture.
