The Power of Coaching Skills for Managers

Introduction:

The goal of project management coaching is to release an empowered project manager who is conscious of his or her resources so that he or she can truly drive the project along on the right tracks. But the coaching that is necessary for this profession is not “simple”: A balanced mixture between related project management experience and an effective coaching process is needed.

Coaching is the process of helping people and teams to perform to the best of their abilities, helping people to bypass personal barriers and limits in order to achieve their personal best.

Why Coaching is so important in Project Management?

Coaching is so important in project management because the project manager must fill several roles in the completion of a project. First of all, the project manager must fill the role of an integrator: he or she is often the only person who is able to view both the project and the way it fits the overall plan for the organization. The project manager must also explain and integrate the project with members outside the project team who may or may not be within the organization.

In addition, a study published in Institute of Physics (IOP) conference series stated that negative actions can quickly spread from person to person and affect everyone in the organization and if left unaddressed they can decrease work performance by more than 30 %. Thus leaving your employees engaged in conflicts simply means missing up on targeted revenues and potential opportunities.

Workplace negativity & disputes also Lead to job burnouts, anxiety, stress, depression

and a lot of health problems that affects productivity,
