Question

Charlie, the accounting manager of MindChannel Inc., agreed to work with a coach. He chose this in order to become more of a team player, which would in turn lead him to being considered for a larger role in management. After two months, however, he complained to the human resource manager that the process is time-consuming and he has not seen any positive results. Explain about responses to Charlie's complaint would best reflect how coaching can contribute to employee development.

Answer 1

When you start training some activity, the results are usually not immediate and it might take months before they show up. When you are train, you want to become better at doing something and that takes practice, and practice takes time.

If I start going to the gym tomorrow I cannot expect to to lose 10 lbs. in a week, I realize it will take and sacrifice. The same applies to every new ability or discipline.
