There’s no question that future leaders will need constant coaching. As the business environment becomes more complex, they will increasingly turn to coaches for help in understanding how to act. The kind of coaches I am talking about will do more than influence behaviors; they will be an essential part of the leader’s learning process, providing knowledge, opinions, and judgment in critical areas. These coaches will be retired CEOs or other experts from universities, think tanks, and government.
Clearly, this is not a description of what most coaches do today. What we think of as coaching is generally a service to middle managers provided by entrepreneurs with a background in consulting, psychology, or human resources. This kind of coaching became popular over the past five years because companies faced a shortage of talent and were concerned about turnover among key employees. Firms wanted to signal their commitment to developing their high-potential executives, so they hired coaches. Meanwhile, businesspeople needed to develop not just quantitative capabilities but also people-oriented skills, and many coaches are helpful for that. As coaching has become more common, any stigma attached to receiving it at the individual level has disappeared. Now, it is often considered a badge of honor.
The coaching industry will remain fragmented until a few partnerships build a brand, collect stellar people, weed out those who are not so good, and create a reputation for outstanding work. Some coaching groups are evolving in this direction, but most are still small firms specializing in, for example, administering and interpreting 360-degree evaluations. To get beyond this level, the industry badly needs a leader who can define the profession and create a serious firm in the way that Marvin Bower did when he invented the modern professional management consultancy in the form of McKinsey & Company.
A big problem that tomorrow’s professional coaching firm must resolve is the difficulty of measuring performance, as the coaches themselves point out in the survey. I’m aware of no research that has followed coached executives over long periods; most of the evidence around effectiveness remains unproved. My sense is that the positive stories outnumber the negative ones—but as the industry matures, coaching firms will need to be able to demonstrate how they bring about change, as well as offer a clear methodology for measuring results.
Despite the recession, I agree with most survey respondents that the demand for coaching will not contract in the long term. The big developing economies are going to have a tremendous appetite for it because management there is very youthful. University graduates are coming into jobs at 23 years old and finding that their bosses are all of 25, with the experience to match.
According to the first paragraph, the coaches
选项
A、are badly needed for their advice on behaviors.
B、will become CEOs or experts in think tanks.
C、are typical coaches companies now can hire.
D、will play an essential role in future leaders’ career.
答案
D
解析
根据题干定位到第一段。该段首句先说未来领导者需要咨询,第三句进一步描述咨询顾问的角色“不仅会影响领导者的行为,还将成为领导人学习过程中必不可少的一个部分,……”。结合首句中的need constant coaching可知,咨询顾问对领导人是非常重要的,故D项为正确答案。该段第三句说咨询顾问将不只影响领导者的行为(do more than influence behaviors),而A项只提及behaviors“行为”,故不全面。第四句说CEO或者智囊团的专家是咨询顾问的可能人选,而不是咨询顾问会成为智囊团中的CEO或者专家,B项是拼凑文中的CEOs、experts、think tanks等字眼来进行干扰。C项中的companies不在第一段中出现。
