As more and more research points out to the impact of managerial styles on employee engagement, companies are realising that the only way to achieve this is by helping their leaders at all levels become coaching oriented in their managerial styles.
In all my conversations with the coaches we train and the existing coaches with whom we engage in a supervisory relationship, the subject of giving advice always comes up. Many wonder if this self imposed restriction on giving advice is a western idea and even suggest that in India, our culture strongly encourages people to pass on their wisdom to others, especially because the recipient is more than willing to receive it.
In my seminar with leaders from global and Indian Organisations, I use the insights from the work done by people like Terrence Brake, Hofstede, Triandis and Tramponar to develop deeper appreciation about cross cultural differences.
