Adviser and
coach differ fundamentally in their role and output. This blog post identifies
the chief differences and recommends that you must choose the one who combine
being both adviser and coach.
Role: Adviser
is an individual who acts as an instructor detached from you providing info and
knowledge that is new or only partially known to you. Whereas, coach is a guide
attached to you and facilitates your learning.
Focus: Adviser
is task oriented and concentrates on successfully completing the given
assignment. He looks you as an individual who is in the rat race to win ahead
individually. On the other hand, coach is performance oriented and makes you an
effective as well as efficient person who can go with the time and be a team
player.
Horizon: Adviser gives you specifics, “do this do that “commands to pre-empt
you. Coach shows you broad horizon and prods you.
Position: In Transactional Analysis, an
adviser plays parent and you are child. While coach becomes an adult and treat
you as adult as well.
What you get: From an adviser you get knowledge and skill;
from a coach you get insight and understanding.
End-use: Adviser improves your decision-making ability for the time
being. Coach behoves you to learn problem solving all the time.
Relationship: Adviser terminates his assignment once the job is done; coach
continues until you reach your goals.
It is better
for you to find a person who can combine both advising and coaching in his
ambit. By the way, a cosmic adviser is one of the few people who combines both
the roles of adviser and coach and makes you a successful and at the same time
a satisfied person.
