Corporal's Course (Leadership II)questions answered 100% correct
IMPORTANCE OF COACHING - -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. - -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 - -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 - -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 - -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: - -•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 - -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 - -Coaching is not a short-term fix; it is a long-
term solution to help a person unlock their true potential and maximize their
own performance through instilling confidence.
Coaching involves a skill set that can only be developed with practice 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.
•Coach as an instructor—to focus on objectives.
•Coach as a motivator—to enhance performance.
•Coach as a mentor—so that your subordinate leaders have the desire to
emulate you.
-DEVELOPING SELF-BELIEF - -The key to reaching the established SMART
goals is to continuously create and maintain an inspiring shared vision.
Developing self-belief is essential and the most powerful instrument a leader
can cultivate. Useful tactics include coaching on:
•The "golden hour": Your thoughts in the first hour of the morning, the
"golden hour," have a strong influence on how you think, feel, and act for the
rest of the day. Take advantage of the "golden hour" and start every day in a
thoughtful, productive way that sets you up for greater success in the hours
ahead.
•Improving habits of personal development: Investing in your mind by
reading something motivational, positive, and consistent with reaching your
goal.
•Engaging in productive behaviors: Plan every day in advance—make a list
of everything you have to do; prioritize your list by value and importance.
-METHODOLOGY OF COACHING - -As a model of peak performance and
emotional intelligence, the Performance Pyramid provides a simple
framework that effectively guides the coaching process and employment of
coaching skills. In this way, the methodology of coaching can be described as
helping a person to develop their emotional intelligence alongside their
technical competence. Coaching is a three stage process where the coach
employs three core coaching skills.
-ATTITUDE, KNOWLEDGE, AND SKILLS - -While coaching may very well be
knowledge- and skill-based, it is first and foremost an attitude—your attitude
as a coach will fundamentally determine the results.
•It has long been acknowledged that a leader's attitude and emotions are
contagious and they must convey energy and enthusiasm if their
organization is to survive and thrive.
, •If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got. If you
want different results for yourself or your people, you'll invariably need to
change how you think and feel, but ultimately you'll need do something
different.
-Stage one of the three-stage coaching process is: - -raise awareness.
During this stage, the coach helps the Marine create a vision of their goal in
terms of what they want to achieve, why they might want to achieve it, and
how they intend achieve it. Throughout the process, the emphasis is on
guiding the person towards finding their own solutions to their own
performance problems. Raising awareness is about encouraging the person
to think for themselves for the purpose of self-education.
-Stage two of the coaching process is: - -generate responsibility. During this
stage, the coach challenges the person to take action to make their goals
reality, while ascertaining their readiness to do so. Generating responsibility
is about improving self-motivation.
-The third stage of the coaching process is: - -facilitate performance. This
stage is accomplished by supporting the Marine in dealing with the
challenges of making their goal a reality for the purpose of self-actualization.
The principles that guide this stage are:
•Autonomy: the Marine has professional freedom to choose the course of
action they feel best meets their needs in accomplishing their goals.
•Responsibility: the Marine is responsible for the choices they make.
•Accountability: the Marine is accountable for what they do and the results
they get.
These principles enable Marines to own the process and the product of their
success.
-VISION, CHALLENGE, AND SUPPORT - -By guiding the coaching process and
employing the core coaching skills, the coach provides the Marine with
vision, challenge, and support.
•Vision - Help your Marines to visualize their goals.
•Challenge - Challenge your Marines to take the necessary action to achieve
their goals.
•Support - Support your Marines throughout the process of achieving their
goals.
