Why being coached when you are already at the top?

I would like to share with you this well known post of Atul Gawande. His willingness was to promote the coaching's use. After watching this moving Ted I think that his purpose is more about humility and continuous learning. He is giving us the proof that, even with a high level of expertise you still can improve your daily performance, even if you have the feeling to be at the top of your knowledge you can still learn. Two conditions for that: to have the humility to admit it and to have the willingness to undertake a never ended learning trip. He is giving us an example of behavior we all should have in our very fast and agile times. Coaching and mentoring are very efficient way to learn about yourself, define and achieve our goals but they are not the only one. However, allo those ways have one common point: humility and willingness to learn. Atul Gawande is giving us a great lesson, will we use it? Have a nice watch.
