Peer Coaches

Using the focus offered by the Prescriptive Transformation Values, specially trained coaches work with the people within the process. The coaches function as highly skilled observers who have learned to live and behave in new ways. They understand the Prescriptive Transformation Values so well that they can see when members of teams start to behave in the old way.

The coaches’ tasks:
By offering a unique perspective, one that includes the new focus, they push people to require new ways of behaving with each other, use new ways of communicating and  use new ways to make decisions. Peer coaches are not supervisors and not at all concerned with the task at hand, only with the way the Prescriptive Values live in present behaviors as people do the work of change

The coaches create social pressure to learn new ways of working and thinking within the organization. They encourage the new ways of working that the new structures require and help establish the new structures that are the foundation of the new organization as described by the Boundaries of Change.

Peer Coaching:

• Refocuses energy and power from a top-down configuration to peer-to-peer. The human capital increases as people invent new structures and invest in the organization in a different way.
• Opens up the power structure. Peers are concerned with each other, no longer waiting for supervisory or managerial help to make decisions on how they should work together and what decisions to make.
• Is a critical element of this process, the bridge between the Prescriptive Transformation Values and behaviors.
