Coaching consists in catalyzing and implementing what allows to contribute to the performance

What is the collective coahing ?

Coaching consists in catalyzing and implementing what allows to contribute to the performance of the management team at the service of the company by proposing the most adapted modalities taking into account the specific context of the team.

  • Management coaching is a confidential accompaniment of a management team in the concrete situations it faces.
  • In addition to the strategic decisions it takes, the leadership team carries out its responsibilities in various ways: formulating a coherent detailed strategic vision, strengthening cohesion within the teams, mobilizing the company’s players, accompanying organizational changes, supporting changes in business lines through appropriate management, generating trust and commitment through its attitude and actions, etc.

  • Coaching allows the team to consciously choose its orientations and to support its movement through the actions undertaken; these actions are themselves reintegrated into the coaching action (reality feedback / feedback from the coach(es)).
  • In no case does the coach replace the managers in their decisions.
