Is it a fad?
The World Economic Forum indicates that over one billion people around the world will need to be reskilled by 2030. The Project Management Institute tells us that 25 million new project professionals are needed within the same time.
Business coaching isn't a fad – it's a necessity.
For project managers, coaching others has become an essential leadership skill, but do we know what a “project coach” looks like? Years ago, my success as a project manager was secured by knowing what needed to be done and doing my best to deliver. As I transitioned into leadership roles, I relied on my knowledge and acquired experience to guide my teammates on how they should get their work done or solve big problems. In other words, I would lead others by reproducing my previous successes. Not only was this approach self-serving, but it also didn’t allow my team members to fully shine on their own.
In today’s world of unrelenting change, the one thing we know is what succeeded in the past may no longer work. Today’s business environment is a tornado of rapid, constant, and disruptive change, making business coaching more important than ever. To succeed in our new reality, we must adopt new ways to challenge team members, so they flourish and grow. With so much to do and so little time, how do project managers successfully stretch and develop others while getting the work done? It happens through the art of asking versus telling, and by acquiring keen listening skills.
While the practice is a dramatic and fundamental shift in traditional leadership behavior, it can be easily learned. In this three-day immersive learning experience, you will switch your mindset and your behavior from telling to asking. Instead of telling team members what to do, you will develop skills on how to ask the “right” questions to team members who are stuck or looking for answers. By adopting coaching techniques, you will encourage new thinking and creativity by challenging individuals to come up with the answers or ideas for themselves, including team members who appear to be difficult to coach. Why is this so valuable? Because it builds their self-confidence, develops new skills, and frees up your time.
Interested in learning more about training specifically developed by project management experts for project managers in a small group setting? Explore upcoming sessions on the PMI Training website and learn more about my upcoming virtual session, The Complete Project Coach, taking place from 19 – 21 November.
