Admin Question by soFresh&Clean: Does work or executive coaching help with job performance?
Best answer:
Answer by KittyKat
Executive coaching can be ok but there isn’t anything like hands-on experience to learning and getting the job done properly. Many times I went into a new job and changed how I was taught to do it. The way I was shown might have been ok for the other person but alot of times it slowed me down so I set up my own procedure and got it done alot faster.
And how would an executive know about the job when they haven’t done it for a while, other than to give you the basics? Even what you study in school seldom applies to the work place. Others can give pointers but the job should be open to the person who is doing it, to find a way that is most efficent for them to complete the task.

Executive coaching does help to a certain degree, this is where you learn the rope of the job, the important point, the pitfalls, etc. However, executive coaching is very general in nature, but, it will provide you a general idea and concept, it is actually a road map. It will not help you when you are doing the nitty gritty details of the job.
Hands on work, is the application of this road map. This is where your creativity is needed. You can create your own system, procedure and etc., to get the desired result. It will give you actual knowledge of the job.
Of course you can learn the job through working hands on, but this is where you will do a lot of trial and errors, before you can actually get the result you needed. Sometimes you get stymied and do not meet deadlines, if this happens your job performance is affected.
To answer your questions “work” and executive coaching goes hand in hand in improving employees job performance.
