David Clutterbuck, mentoring and coaching: a commentary
No full textSimon Jenkins, in his stimulus piece on David Clutterbuck amply demonstrates just how prolific Clutterbuck has been over a working lifetime. Generally accepted as the person who introduced supported mentoring into Europe, Clutterbuck has written widely on matters that relate to relationships, processes, evidence (and its capacity or otherwise to influence practice), procedures, complexity, management, supervision, guidance (of one kind or another); the list goes on. It is an impressive vita indeed and yet, Clutterbuck’s influence on the world of sports and more specifically, sports coaching; remains relatively modest. Of course this is the purpose of Jenkins’ piece, to stimulate our thought processes such that our attention can be drawn to the possible impact Clutterbuck might have in sport, sports coaching, and athlete and coach mentoring. If nothing else, this is an admirable challenge that Jenkins has set himself
What does good practice look like?
No full text[Extract] A coach is said to be someone who establishes options, introduces challenges and initiates alternative behavious (Witherspoon & White, 1996). According to Eggers and Clark (2000) and Evers, Brouwers and Tomic (2006) a coach is someone who is able to prompt the coachee (the person being coached) with questions so that they are able to discover the answers themselves. The role of an executive coach is to provide feedback about the executive's behaviour and the impact that behaviour is having on others both within and outside the organisation (O'Neill, 2000); Witherspoon & White, 1996). It is argued that with this feedback executives are able to gain an increase in their performance and that of their team with an increased sense of self-awareness, self-esteem and better communication with their work colleagues (Kilburg, 1996). In turn this should lead to increased morale, productivity and higher profits (Kampa-Kokesch & Anderson, 2001; Smith, 1993)
Lessons learnt
No full text[Extract] Our case studies demonstrate that coaching and mentoring are thriving in the Asia Pacific region, with a wide diversity of application and approach. We see in the case studies an immense and sometimes naive enthusiasm. It is clear that good practice is still in the process of being defined in the region overall - as it is to a lesser extent in America and particularly in Europe, where boundaries have begun to emerge and the focus on practioner competence is well established. In Asia Pacific currently, we see a wide variation in thematurity of coaching, with Australia, New Zealand and Singapore being the most advanced. To reach the same level of maturity, coaching and mentoring in other countries needs to tackle a number of significant issues
David Clutterbuck, mentoring and coaching: a commentary
No full textDavid Clutterbuck has made tremendous contributions to both coaching and mentoring theory and practice over the past three decades. One of the pleasures of reading David Clutterbuck's work is that he communicates clearly without jargon, a tribute perhaps to his journalistic background. He captures what is known or believed about a topic at the time and is not afraid to say that things have changed or that his predictions have not yet come to pass. By articulating the conceptions of coaching and mentoring at a particular point in time, Clutterbuck allows us to recognise the changes that take place over time as well as the changes in different contexts, changes that can be almost imperceptible unless someone draws our attention to them. In this commentary, I will focus on the evolving definitions of mentoring that are explicit in Clutterbuck's work and consider the distinction between coaching and mentoring
David Clutterbuck on Mentoring and Coaching: A Commentary
No full textConsider the following quotation, attributed to Frederick Buechner: “Vocation is where your deepest passion meets the world’s greatest need.” What strikes me the most when I reflect on the work of David Clutterbuck so thoughtfully reviewed by Simon Jenkins is David’s passion for mentoring. David is not only highly influential as a thought leader in mentoring and prolific as an author, but also possesses a deep expertise in implementing his ideas as a consultant. Indeed, the world needs mentoring, not only to develop leaders in for-profit organizations, but also to address society’s greatest challenges. It is my great pleasure to write a commentary on David Clutterbuck’s contributions to mentoring as his work has served as a source of inspiration for me over many years. In this commentary, I will provide a reflection on several of David’s ideas about trends in mentoring. I am hopeful my questions and thoughts inspired by these trends will inspire others to engage in further dialogue
