The missing link: coaching as a method of improving managerial skills in smaller businesses in Asia
Abstract
Using the example of a “successful” managerial training programme as a starting point, this article illustrates how training addresses only the routine, or core aspects of the small business manager’s job. Thus, training is discussed in terms of where this activity should fit into the developmental paradigm. Then, utilizing recent advances in executive coaching techniques, a different learning model is created, one that builds on traditional training, but focuses on behavioural change.
