What is your relationship to coaching?

by Gregory Neil on March 17, 2010

The choices are…

1.    Leave me alone, I’m fine, I’m doing it my

way… or,

2.    Ok, you can help me if I like where this

is going and we do it my way… or,

3.    I’m open to your suggestions and appreciate

your help, support, partnership… or,

4.    I know I need help with _______ and_______.

Can  we set up a time for that?

Behaviors like 1 and 2 come from people who are going to get it done on their own, by themselves-not a problem if you’re up to something that is well within your skill set, as in many of the small day to day tasks we do are.

Behaviors like 3 and 4 come from people who have the self-esteem and emotional maturity to take on problems beyond their ability and requiring the help from others-like their team.

The question is: which behavior is going to get more work done? Which ones are most prevalent in your business culture?
