Editor's Notes
The American landscape is rapidly changing. One has only to look around and you will see a kaleidoscope of national origins, religions, ethnicities, races, and cultures. Leading in today’s multicultural business environment presents challenges not experienced a generation ago. The skills that leaders utilized have to be updated so that they can lead in the new reality of today’s academia and workplace.
Coaching DefinedThe goal of a coach is to bring out the possibilities in a player.Coaching is the art and practice of inspiring, energizing, and facilitating the performance, learning and development of the player. (Myles Downey7) Each word in this definition is a key word:art – though there is science to coaching, coaching is an art in the sense that "when practiced with excellence, there is no attention on the technique: the coach is fully engaged with the player and the process of coaching becomes a dance between two people, conversationally moving in complete harmony and partnership. At this point the intelligence, intuition and imagination of the coach become a valuable contribution - rather than being interference for the player."7inspiring – coaching is about helping the player to unlock his or her true potential through raising awareness, inspiring new ideas and encouraging creativity. energizing – coaching is about energizing the player through effective communication, soliciting suggestions, and building a can-do attitudefacilitating – implies that the player has the capacity to have an insight or creative idea and to think something through for himselfperformance – anything a coach says or does should be driven by the intention to improve performance, i.e. to achieve greater effectiveness or efficiency of the playerlearning – refers to a broader domain, how to approach a task or master a new technology; looking beyond immediate objectives, the future performance of the organization depends on learningdevelopment – refers to personal growth and greater self-awareness.7
