That is what Eric Schmidt said in 2001. Who is Eric Schmidt; he is the Chairman and CEO of Google. You know the company it is the one you say Google it rather do some research.
Eric has one great company and he finally got a coach...but his first reaction when told he should have a coach was one why should I have a coach. I am pretty experienced and I am the best person in the world at this stuff so why do I need a coach.
He found out that a coach doesn’t have to be the best, for example Tiger Woods has a swing coach and he is a pretty good golfer. Eric decided to try a coach and here is what he found.
A coach has to help you to be your best. A business and personal coach is somebody who can look at a situation and give you their view. The coach tells you what he sees and then you and he or she goes over the problem.
A good coach helps you see yourself and helps you understand that you might have some failing in a given area.
A coach does not do you work. A coach gets you to see issues that you might not be seeing for your prospective. This can be a great advantage when things start to change quicker than you would want.
We are all human and a coach’s works with us to achieve things that we might not have been able to because of some blind spot we might have had.
You might say will I have a good team and that is their jog to keep the organization moving forward and you right, but as CEO you still sit in the lonely office and the buck stops there.
Your coach is the one that you can bounce of the ideas that you might not want to bounce off you team. Or he might give some insight in to how to achieve even greater success for your organization.
