The High Growth Enterprise Coaching Roles
High Growth Enterprise Coaches undertake a broader range of activities than those undertaken by a traditional business coach. High Growth Enterprise Coaches sometimes take the lead and provide clients with direction; sometimes they provide support to clients who take the lead; sometimes they take action on behalf of clients to solve a problem; there are times when the client requires their High Growth Coach to take the role of a consultant to research and solve a specific problem, or they need to source a specialist supplier and use the High Growth Coach as a procurement agent or a broker, and there are times when they need to acquire some specific knowledge or skills in which case the High Growth Coach delivers some training.
It is rare that a pure coaching approach is used as often the needs of High Growth Companies are diverse.
The High Growth Enterprise Coaching Roles
High Growth Enterprise Coaches undertake seven separate roles. Although each role is quite distinct, they are all closely related. Many of the High Growth Enterprise Coaching Fundamental Skills such as Rapport Building, Client Dialogue, Active Listening, Critical Thinking and Action Planning are widely used across most of the High Growth Enterprise Coaching Roles.
High Growth Enterprise Coaches typically undertake several of these roles with a single client. As the needs of a client change through the High Growth Enterprise Coaching process so too should the role of the High Growth Coach.
It is important that High Growth Enterprise Coaches adopt the ‘RIGHT ROLE AT THE RIGHT TIME’. It is also important that both the coach and client understand the role that is being undertaken: coaches need to be able to manage the boundaries between the different roles to avoid misunderstandings and confusion.
