Typical Coaching Issues
Individuals
_ From colleague to superior: I want to be boss, but I don't want to lose my good connection to my colleagues.
_ Leadership issues: This employee is stubborn and puts a strain on the mood in the team.
_ Overworking on the job: The work is getting out of hand, I don't even know where to start anymore.
_ Conflicts on the job: Working with this colleague makes me sick, what can I do?
_ Job dissatisfaction: Should I stay, should I change, if yes, where to?
Teams
_ Overtaxed with new working methods, e.g. agile working: How do we get employees to take on more responsibility? And managers to give up responsibility?
_ Rejection of new tools/IT applications: There are no processes for that yet, how is that supposed to work?
_ Uncertainty after reorganization: What is our new role? Who's doing what now?
_ Conflicts in the cooperation: It cannot go on like this, otherwise the project crashes.
