IMPORTANCE OF COACHING - ANSWER- The Marine Corps'

vision of leading is less concerned with rank, self-identity, recognition,

or privilege than with the essence of our Corps —the individual Marine

and the unyielding determination to persevere. Our vision of leading is

linked directly to our common vision of warfighting, which needs

leaders devoted to leading, capable of independent and bold action, who

are willing and eager to assume new and sometimes daunting

responsibilities, and willing to take selfless risks because the Corps must

succeed.

This guidance and the objectives of Marine corps leadership inspired the

framework for this lesson.

IMPORTANCE OF COACHING CONT. - ANSWER- The coaching

methodology complements a leader's existing knowledge toward

developing leadership in subordinate leaders.

Coaching is defined as a process of ongoing observation and

encouragement for a Marine's personal and professional growth. It

occurs on a daily basis and provides informal feedback, documentation,

and communication of goals focused on the development of the Marine.

Improved competence is the desired outcome of coaching. The coaching

methodology uses interpersonal interaction to impart techniques and

improve the recipient's ability to accomplish their goals. Coaching

occurs whenever an individual provides a fellow Marine with the benefit

of their experience.

IMPORTANCE OF COACHING CONT. x3 - ANSWER- Coaching is a

continuous process. It occurs during training while Marines show others

how to perform actions during the course of their duties or the

accomplishment of their missions. While Marines carry out tasks,

coaching is applied to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their

work and simultaneously develop subordinate leaders confidence and

knowledge base.

The true value of any training is not so much the training itself, but the

change in behavior that should result from learning. Performance is not

so much about what you know as it is about what you do with what you

know.

CHARACTERISTICS - ANSWER- Coaching is a process that enhances

potential in individuals to improve performance. It is about helping

someone learn rather than drilling them on memorization. Coaching

uses:

•Hard leadership skills:

-Goal setting

-Reviewing performance

•Soft leadership skills:

-Believing in potential

-Developing self-belief

It is often about addressing the "attitude or motivation of an individual,"

which all too regularly limits their performance, progress, and potential.

SETTING GOALS - ANSWER- Using the SMART method of setting

goals empowers subordinate leaders to influence coaching outcomes.

Additionally, developing goals should be treated as Marines treat

mission statements. Therefore, include a proper in order to (IOT) at the

end of your set goals.

Characteristics of Goals: - ANSWER- •Specific: The goals must be clear

(PT, education)

•Measurable: Check progress and hold accountable

•Attainable: Relevant, manageable, and challenging

•Realistic: Tools and abilities to accomplish

•Timely: Provides focus and accountability

REVIEWING PERFORMANCE - ANSWER- After you create and

document SMART goals with a plan for reaching them, engaged

leadership becomes easier and more focused.

Assessing progress is where small unit leaders truly get to know and

understand their Marines. By using a recommended goals form or a

locally produced version, documenting these SMART goals sets a

standard of assessment. Additionally, leaders have the opportunity to

ensure these goals are balanced against all other competing factors of

their Marines' time. The foundational key to setting and meeting these

goals centers on the fact that the Marine is in control of achieving them.

If adjustments to existing goals need to be made, leaders are involved in

reinforcing or advising the adjustments.

BELIEVING IN POTENTIAL - ANSWER- Coaching is not a shortterm fix; it is a long-term solution to help a person unlock their true

potential and maximize their own performance through instilling

confidence.

and requires an investment in time, energy, and resources to maximize

performance.

As a leader there are four facets of coaching to keep in mind. You want

to develop yourself to:

•Coach as a guide—to keep individuals on target with performance.
