PETALING JAYA: When it comes to determining an organisation’s success, few qualities are as essential as strong leadership.
Effective leaders set visions, create a sense of direction, and most importantly, are able to utilise coaching skills within their everyday activities.
Authors Dr Phil Renshaw and Dr Jenny Robinson, however, believe that when it comes to training coaching skills, most programmes miss the mark.
“Most teaching around coaching skills treat coaching as a process. People who undergo it seem to be trained as coaches. But that is incorrect.
“What most leaders and managers need is to learn the skills of coaching, and weave it into their everyday practice,” Renshaw told FMT Lifestyle.
He said that by doing it this way, they hope to train people in a different way, and create “leaders who coach”. “Both leading and coaching must be part of what they do,” he added.

Robinson said research had revealed that enhanced leadership skills had been proven to bring innumerable benefits for companies, including a 50% boost in productivity, three times better engagement, 30% less talent turnover, and 10% uplift in shareholder satisfaction.
“In today’s world, the complexity of businesses is too vast for one brain. You need multiple people to give you data and perspectives,” she said.
“As a leader who coaches, you’re simply acknowledging you don’t have all the answers. You need to bring people along with you, and understand their perspectives,” she added.
Renshaw, who hails from York, in the UK, and Robinson, who comes from New Zealand, are the authors of the acclaimed “Coaching On the Go”.
Written in bite-sized chapters, the book uses advanced teaching methods and leadership theories to develop the coaching potential in professionals at all levels.
The two have also developed the book into a programme many leading global organisations have adopted. These include HSBC, BBC, KPMG, Newcastle University, the University of Manchester, and the NHS.

The duo was recently in Malaysia for a collaboration with local conglomerate “The Knowledge Group of Companies” that will implement the programme in Malaysia.
“We are delighted to have the “Coaching On the Go” programme in Malaysia. We have brought together about 14 coaches, and conducted the first round of orientation with them.
“They will be able to execute this programme in a local context, which we believe is invaluable,” said Knowledge Group of Companies managing director Selva Nagappan.
“We have registered this programme with the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) and it will be fully claimable from them,” Selva added.
“Coaching On the Go” works through the implementation of a programme known as GIZMO, which takes account of everyday situations where coaching skills are practised.
It then produces a personalised skills profile which delivers key insight data across 15 dimensions, or categories. Also provided is an individual development plan that can be followed step-by-step.

Some of the skills tested are generative listening, the ability to ask good questions, and “contracting”, or the ability to establish clear agreements and expectations at the beginning of a relationship.
“We’ve overcomplicated the idea of coaching. What we think of as ‘coaching’, is mostly a collection of skills bundled together, which are actually also very useful separately. The more of these skills you use, the better,” Renshaw added.
According to Robinson, the programme works in 10-minute sessions, so the information is easier to absorb and retain.
“Many of us have experienced going to a fantastic training course for two or three days, but when we get back to our jobs, everything we learnt gets lost.
“We told ourselves, we don’t want to do it like that. We want to change the way people learn so they never forget,” Robinson said.
“This is why we came up with the idea of tiny little changes. 10 minutes, on the go, all day, every day, keep going. You do them all the time, and learn in little bite sizes. And that has a huge impact on positive change,” she concluded.
