Internal Coach

I was an Internal Coach, and I was therefore required to teach my fellow employees in the company on how to be able to conduct different activities. Moreover, as a leader, I was also supposed to act as their role model, thus enabling them to work hard. I would also guide them on how to be able to successfully accomplish their tasks, and how to focus on achieving the company’s goals (Adams, 2013). I would also encourage the employees to work hard in order to be able to increase their chances of reaching greater heights. Most employees were therefore able to conduct different activities in the company effectively, since they incorporated the plans that I had given them into their work.

Internal coaching enabled me to understand the roles of a leader, since I was able to experience the feeling of being a leader (Adams, 2013). One of the things which I learned was that in order to be successful as a leader, one needs to act as an example. Most of the employees would emulate what I was doing, thus being successful. Moreover, most people like a leader who walks the talk, most of the employees would therefore do something they perceived to be hard after I did it.

This project really changed my view of leadership, since I believed that in order for one to be a leader, then he or she needed to be harsh (Adams, 2013). This is however not the case, I therefore learnt that a leader is a person who can influence other people to emulate him or her. People can only allow a person to lead them only if the person is able to work through providing examples.

Service to the community is very significant to business management, since it allows the management of the company to be able to create a connection with the society. Moreover, this also encourages customer engagement, since the employees will be able to easily communicate with the customers, while undertaking different tasks within the community. Most communities tend to be loyal to the companies which offer support to them (Agarwal, 2017). Giving back to the family consequently allows the management of the company to be able to increase its market share through showing the society, that the company cares for them, and it also appreciated whatever they are doing. In return, companies get loyal customers, and the employees also enjoy volunteering in community work, a thing which boosts their working morale.

Social responsibility is a task within the society, which an individual or an employee is supposed to undertake in order to benefit the society. On the other hand, a business may try to pursue community service, in order to be able to carry out its social responsibility (Agarwal, 2017). An organization can be able to carry out a social responsibility such as planting trees and cleaning a town. This is a social responsibility which the company is supposed to undertake, in order to benefit the society. The same company may therefore come up with a way of reaching the people through undertaking a social responsibility. For instance, if the same organization invites people to participate in planting and also watering trees, this is therefore a form of reaching the community through undertaking a social responsibility. Hence social responsibilities and an organization trying to reaching a community are similar.
