Have you observed how our society has slowly moved from giving importance on Gross to focusing on the Subtle. Our awareness
has moved from the Gross to the Subtle. Many patterns have evolved. A very brief, but big-picture snapshot for you:

As people change, People management changes too. There have been many other shifts, in Production, Marketing, Finance, Sales etc. but i will save those for a white paper on the subject and will share the evolution of HR
initiatives in companies, for the purpose of this blog.

If you observe, you will see that both these patterns show progress
from the gross to the subtle.

We have gone from working hard to make ends meet & dealing
with physical challenges to dealing with mental anxiety and depression, in spite of
having all the physical comforts and luxuries possible.

Physical life expectancy has gone up but mental health is
suffering worldwide!
Drilling it down a little, how does this mind pattern play out in a corporate career?
Naturally every executive’s personal growth graph will not
correspond with their career graph! Whereas most individuals start off together,
over 12-15 years, there are far too many variables that play out and hence we
see that not all individuals will get leadership roles. I have seen many executives who do manage to get the leadership roles, very often also feel at sea, not knowing what to do!
Companies usually have targeted competency based training programs at
each of these levels and usually have supportive initiatives to help
employees cope with big career leaps. I've personally designed and rolled out
many of these initiatives. They do work to an extent, and are enough to give Hr professionals the satisfaction of putting in best efforts but miss the mark in terms of powerful impact.
It’s difficult to reach all employees with these
initiatives. Usually the ones identified as high potential will benefit from
this support. As the programs and initiatives are usually designed around
pre-determined competencies, that the company believes its employees should
have, they don’t usually consider the individual’s strengths, but try to force-fit executives into the company leadership mould.
Potential – Interference(mental) =
Performance
If you reduce interference to close to Zero – Performance will be at full
potential. But this formula is unique to each person. Individuals have different
potential, different motivators and different (Interference) limiting beliefs and patterns. It is also your brains job to keep you safe it will not let you go into unexplored areas of the mind.
This is where Coaching is very effective. It helps each individual discover their own potential, help them identify what exactly is their unique interference (Beliefs/habits/patterns) and helps them achieve higher performance. Someone who has scaled up the mountain can guide you up that peak!
Any company or executive who is serious about enhancing
performance and wants a positive transformation in their life or organisation, should
definitely invest in coaching!!
In today’s times, you should not invest in getting information, but you
should definitely invest handsomely for transformation!!
