ABSTRACT

Women are often overlooked for leadership coaching. Facilitated peer coaching (FPC) has emerged as cost-efficient and effective; however, lacks research in HSOs. We collected focus group and interview data from 30 racially diverse women and two women coaches in a human services leadership program on key benefits, effectiveness and challenges of FPC for learning application. Areas of greatest growth included individual mind-set and interpersonal behavior in organizational practices. Challenges included time restraints and powerlessness to shift organizational culture. HSOs can scale up leadership coaching for women by providing time, resources, support, and partnering with organizations for coaching across a network.

PRACTICE POINTS

  • Participants noted that the area of greatest growth for them from facilitated peer coaching was a shift in their mind-set, including boosted confidence in being a leader and advocating for themselves, becoming more self-aware and self-reflective about their perceptions of and behaviors toward others, and becoming stronger personally and professionally.

  • Many participants described increased competence in and application of technical types of skills and some described teaching others to deepen organizational learning.

  • Facilitated peer coaching helped women develop a deeper sense of connection with each other and a clearer understanding about the work other managers are engaged in and the common challenges they face.

  • Peer coaching is most effective when participants share similar levels of power within their organization.

  • A necessary step for human service managers is to provide women with leadership learning and coaching opportunities, whether individual or collective, in which knowledge, skills, and ideas can be collaboratively shared and supported.

促进女性人类服务专业人员之间的同伴辅导:领导力学习、应用和经验教训

摘要

女性在领导力辅导中经常被忽视。促进同伴辅导(FPC)已成为具有成本效益和有效的;但是,缺乏对 HSO 的研究。我们收集了来自 30 名种族不同的女性和两名女性教练的焦点小组和访谈数据,这些数据涉及人类服务领导力计划中关于 FPC 在学习应用方面的主要好处、有效性和挑战。增长最快的领域包括组织实践中的个人思维定势和人际行为。挑战包括时间限制和无力改变组织文化。HSO 可以通过提供时间、资源、支持以及与组织合作进行跨网络辅导来扩大对女性的领导力辅导。

实践点

  • 参与者指出,促进同伴辅导对他们来说最大的成长领域是他们思维方式的转变,包括增强对成为领导者和倡导自己的信心,对自己的看法和行为变得更加自我意识和自我反省对他人,并在个人和专业上变得更强大。

  • 许多参与者描述了技术类型技能的能力和应用能力的提高,一些参与者描述了教他人加深组织学习。

  • 便利的同伴辅导有助于女性建立更深层次的相互联系感,并更清楚地了解其他经理所从事的工作以及她们面临的共同挑战。

  • 当参与者在他们的组织内分享相似的权力时,同伴辅导是最有效的。

  • 人力服务经理的一个必要步骤是为女性提供领导力学习和指导机会,无论是个人的还是集体的,在这些机会中,知识、技能和想法可以协作共享和支持。
