Coaching in Organizations: How Do Positive and Negative Emotions Impact Success?

Hi all,

This is an article on coaching by Richard E. Boyatzis that discusses the use of positive and negative emotive attractors (PEA & NEA) on the participants of coaching programs. This article, posted as part of a PhD thesis, addresses the situations professional coaches and participants face and highlights the effectiveness of coaching in organizations.

Coaching is one of the most effective tools for providing knowledge, delivering skills, changing behavior, and influencing attitudes. The advantages of coaching include the ability to provide one-to-one instructions, ensuring privacy for the learner, offering immediate corrections, addressing problems quickly, providing short response times, delivering quick feedback, facilitating behavior change within a short period, and ensuring prompt follow-up.

The only disadvantage of coaching is getting too close to the employee (receiver). It is essential to maintain a professional distance, acting as a resource rather than a helper. Coaching plays a significant role in the job descriptions of positions such as sales managers and supervisors.

Today, there is a growing demand for business coaches for senior managers because they often lag behind in knowledge and skills as technology advances.
