Coaching is a powerful leadership tool that can be used to unlock unit performance. It provides flexible guidance that focuses on the individual or team's strengths and opportunities for success. This type of counseling can help leaders make decisions about maintaining organizational performance, business continuity, and the protection, well-being, and financial security of their workforce. Coaching also helps business leaders develop emotional intelligence, with greater self-awareness, empathy and self-control. Consistent coaching, training, and mentoring provide the foundation on which honor, courage, and commitment are instilled throughout a marine's leadership development.
Professional coaches provide observations and feedback on individual performance and help leaders develop strategies for personal improvement. As an integral function of daily leadership, coaching provides feedback, often informally. A successful coach is able to transmit his values, mentality and philosophy to his marines through his behavior, attitude and actions. Coaching has been shown to have a powerful and positive impact on self-confidence, well-being and work performance. It also helps identify future leaders and provides them with the skills needed to advance their careers. The goal of Marine Corps leadership is to develop the leadership qualities of Marines so that they can assume ever greater responsibilities to the Marine Corps and society.
