The transition to the next stage of professional development is associated with the need to develop new skills and find yourself in a new situation. Therefore, it is worth preparing for them properly. If you are expecting a significant change in your job, think about what you can do right now to get the best out of the situation.
Recently, interest in personal and professional development has been growing intensively in Poland, and motivational speakers are gaining particular popularity. The profession of a coach is still new in Poland and evokes various emotions among others because it is not yet legally regulated. Nevertheless, more and more people are deciding to use it, or think of it as a new, interesting career path. There are many good comparisons and definitions for coaching. In English, “coach” simply means “trainer”, although it does not fully reflect its definition. More often, coaching is divided into two types – business coaching and life coaching, due to the goals that can be achieved. At ecoCoach, we specialize in two types of coaching, namely: business coaching and executive coaching. So what makes each of them different?

The way humans are organized is constantly evolving. Looking at reality from the perspective of a hierarchy is no longer the optimal and most effective model of relating to reality. More and more companies (eg Wikipedia, Spotify, BlaBlaCar) rely on the assumption that each participant in the network or service is equally important and can play the role of both user and creator. The same applies to modern turquoise management companies, where the hierarchy and divisions into “top” and “bottom” cease to exist. However, not everyone is ready to function in the company without a boss and abandon the hierarchical pyramid. We cannot enter the Turquoise World on the basis of “I pay, I take, I don’t care about the rest”, but rather with the approach “I’m responsible, I make decisions, I co-create the organization”. Traditional companies have traditional organizational structures and usually show less spectacular results. Modern companies are modern management methods and usually above-average results.

In Poland, we have a large selection of coaching courses. When choosing such a course, it is worth asking yourself a few questions about what to expect . What is our goal? Do we want to use the acquired knowledge professionally? If so, what clients do we want to work with? Will the course we have chosen help achieve a given goal, and does the person conducting it have appropriate references? After completing the course, will we obtain the certificate and competences needed to practice the profession?

I first came across the name “turquoise organizations” exactly a year ago, after being suggested to me twice by two different people to read Frédéric Laloux’s book, in two different places and at different times. While reading the book, while still the president of the management board of igus in Poland, I had a kind of enchantment because the practices that I was doing with my team in Poland at that time were similar to what Frédéric Laloux describes.

Hardly anyone remembers now that the origins of the modern method of management in factories – Lean Management and Lean Manufacturing – can be traced to William Edwards Deming’s departure to Japan in 1947 and his lectures for Japanese engineers in the 1950s. Is LEAN still the most modern management method? Has technological progress, globalization, universal access to knowledge, social media and companies based on the collaborative economy not mean that LEAN management methods are a bit of a mouse? For some, NO, because they still defend the good old hierarchical structures, long-term LEAN implementations and the CEO out of necessity taking GEMBA walks. For some, YES, because they notice how quickly the group of turquoise companies is expanding, relying on flexible structures, self-organization, employee involvement and the company’s 100% based on a human being with his fullness.
Haven’t you ever thought about throwing this whole LEAN implementation away? To throw away is a constant explanation to new employees that when you say 5S, you do not mean your smartphone model, that when you mention that you are going to do GEMBA, you do not say anything about your face and when you notice MUDA it is not related to boredom at work . Do not worry. You weren’t the only one who had such doubts.
If you can see that other companies are developing much faster than yours, this is the best reason for you to reach for an ecoCoach executive coach or business coach.
If you meet people at trainings, fairs, conferences and people who talk about the rapid development of their companies, the development of the e-commerce industry, sales funnels, influencer marketing , digital marketing, turquoise organizations, maybe this is the moment for you to rethink your own business model and reach for innovation in management.
