Most of the time when I meet companies and clients especially engineering based companies who would like to go for coaching process for their Executives, often ask a question, “How is engineering management different from our normal management?
I don't know the actual answer for this. I even don't know if there is really any difference exist.
But, if I think in line with the question, may be I can pin point certain things which has a distinct advantages.
In reality there might not be any big difference, but people find value in having a coach who has a similar background and who can speak and understand the common engineering vocabulary and situational knowledge.
In other words, who can understand the common dynamics and don't need any explanation how things work.
A coach from a same background understand the cross-functional team dynamics as well as intricacies of processes, etc.
He can help company executives to knock out some low-hanging fruit that can help them and in turn a company with some short-term tactical wins.
This is my understanding about having an advantage to have a coach with similar background as client company.
