Business organizations that have tasted success in the past, were more likely motivated by the spirit of forming a culture. It is within this framework, that these organizations saw every challenge as an opportunity and every setback, as a new learning curve. With the passage of time, the culture soon becomes infectious. It not only dictates your day-to-day activities but also become an ecosystem that pervades your organizational life. Such is the air about a coaching culture.

A strong coaching culture is a feature of an exceptional organization. Organizations with strong coaching cultures value and invest in professional coach practitioners and managers and leaders who use coaching skills, encouraging them to support employees at all levels in order to grow their skills, enhance their value and reach their professional goals.

In the benchmark 2014 research conducted by the Human Capital Institute (HCI) and the International Coach Federation (ICF), they classified 13% of respondents’ organizations as having strong coaching cultures and found these organizations were more likely to have high rates of employee engagement and strong revenue growth. The 2014 study also found that in most organizations with strong coaching cultures, managers and leaders use coaching knowledge, approaches and skills with subordinates to create awareness and support behavior change. This practice is expected to expand, as 81% report they plan to increase the scope of their managers and leaders using coaching skills in the next five years.
