108 EXECUTIVE COACHING<br />
............................<br />
Common Issues<br />
Some common issues are faced by new employees in a company.<br />
Assimilation coaching is designed to help an executive navigate during<br />
the early days of employment. Listed below are the kinds of questions<br />
(in four topic areas) that can form a basis for a discussion between<br />
a coach and a client during the assimilation process. It is important to<br />
recognize that the coach isn’t expected to have all the answers. <strong>The</strong><br />
coach knows that these questions should be asked and has ideas for<br />
how the client and coach, working together, can find the answers.<br />
Understanding the Culture<br />
• What is the mission and vision of the company and of<br />
your business unit?<br />
• What’s important and really counts here? What are the<br />
shared values and characteristics that comprise the<br />
organization’s identity?<br />
• How is performance measured? Is it done formally?<br />
• How does the company recognize and reward people?<br />
How often?<br />
• How does the communication process work? Is it very<br />
open, is there a lot of candor, or is it on a need-toknow<br />
basis? What are the preferred channels?<br />
• In terms of marketplace success, what does the company<br />
emphasize? What truly drives the business?<br />
Self-Awareness<br />

What concerns you?<br />

team?<br />
