How important is coaching to and to your organization? Do you coach your direct reports? Would you like all managers and leaders in your company to coach more often and in more effective ways? Could good coaching solve a performance and other deficiencies in your workplace? And in your life?
How is it possible to improve in the face of complexity?
Atul Gawande (American surgeon, writer and public health researcher) studied this question with a surgeon's precision and in this TED Talk he shares what he's found to be the key: having a good coach to provide a more accurate picture of our reality, to instill positive habits of thinking, and to break our actions down and then help us build them back up again.
"It's not how good you are now; it's how good you're going to be that really matters," says Gawande.
