HOLDING A 3-WAY CONVERSATION

Managers within organizations often invite coaches to come in for the purpose of coaching someone who that manager believes needs coaching. The manager may think that person is a high potential and needs to be coached for the next higher level job or be groomed for leadership. Equally the manager may think the person is under-performing or actually unqualified and needs to be coached to deal with such. In other instances, a manager may actually want to get rid of the person, fire him, but doesn’t have the courage to do so. Regardless of the reason, the manager ends up inviting a coach into her organization for the purpose of coaching a client who may or may not want it.
