I was promoted to a first-time manager in HR division more than 10 years back. It has positively disrupted my life and career as I was so used to be an individual contributor where I was the subject matter expert to achieve peak performance for the organization. The only person I need to be accountable for was my line manager. Back then, when I was given a group of 8 team members to manage, I was totally at a loss. However, my line manager trusted me and believe in me that I can surpassed all these challenges in the leadership journey.
My Line manager prepared me by investing an external Coach for the disruption I was facing. I had no idea what a Coach would do and what was the difference between a Coach and a Mentor. ‘Coach’ was a brand-new terminology for me at that time. Later on, I then realized a Coach will ask you questions which will move you forward in the conversation without giving you any form of advice while Mentor is someone who has the extensive experience or the subject expert who can advise you on which route to take when you face challenges.
The leadership coaching journey has impacted my career significantly in a positive manner. It has taught me the power of proper delegation, developing my team members vertically and horizontally, how to give constructive feedback to co-workers without feeling guilty which then produced positive change in them. Regular coaching and feedback will provide support to the employee and rectify performance issues before they become significant.
Coaching has changed my career and personal life and it has now become part of my daily life.
I thought coaching is just an interim to help me become a better first-time manager but I didn’t know it will take me this far in my career. It is my vision to see leaders in organizations coach, train, and develop employees to reach the next level of their career and even personal life.
Hence, I believe, every talent needs a coach.
I have become a better version of myself through coaching others and being coached.
