Discussion Post: Good Coach/Bad Coach
Both positive and negative examples of behaviors and skill sets can be useful in helping to develop your professional skills. Take coaching in a business context, for example. If a former manager built up your knowledge and confidence, guided you through difficulties, and ensured that you had the tools to take on future challenges, then you would likely try to emulate what they did if your goal were to become a better coach. However, if a former manager set ambiguous expectations, offered little assistance, and micromanaged your daily routine, then you could also use that experience to be a better coach by vowing never to turn out like them.
In this Discussion, you will explore one positive and one negative experience you have had with being coached by a manager, coach, or other leader, including how you will use this knowledge to further your own development as a coach.
To prepare for this Discussion:
o Think back across your experiences of being coached by others, specifically coaches you found particularly effective and particularly ineffective-and why.
