In my first job back in 1983, I had a supervisor who did not believe in coaching or developing people. I was left largely to my own devices to manage a market research project aimed at unraveling the needs of our customers. Despite facing considerable challenges and relying heavily on on-the-job learning, I successfully completed the task three months later, much to the delight of the General Manager. However, my supervisor's unhelpful posture toward me persisted for another four years, until I was eventually promoted by the General Manager to assume the post of Marketing Manager. I remained in this position for three more years before seeking advancement in a healthcare organisation.
This experience highlighted the importance of coaching and developing people as critical skills that leaders must demonstrate. In stark contrast to my first supervisor, the General Manager at the healthcare organisation was a firm believer in staff development. To this day, I recall her as a great coach and mentor who left an indelible imprint on my professional life. The disparate treatment I received from my supervisors at both organisations underscored the significant impact that coaching and development can have on one's growth in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.
Influenced by the mentorship of the General Manager, I have made it a priority to coach my direct reports and colleagues in my subsequent career with three more organisations. Through this practice, I witnessed firsthand the transformative benefits that coaching can have in unleashing the best in others. Over the last 25 years as co-founder of PACE OD, I am honoured and privileged to have coached and mentored many organisational leaders and talents from across the regional countries. I thank God for the wonderful opportunities to help others benefit from the positive impact of coaching in my role as an executive coach and OD facilitator/consultant.
