OSCAR Model for Coaching and Leadership
The OSCAR model is a structured coaching framework used in project management and leadership to help individuals achieve their goals effectively. It stands for Outcome, Situation, Choices (or Consequences), Actions, and Review.
1. Outcome (O) - Define the Goal
- Identify the desired future state.
- Ask: What do you want to achieve?
- Example: If coaching someone for the PMP exam, their outcome might be passing the exam and securing a better job.
2. Situation (S) - Assess the Current State
- Evaluate current skills, abilities, and knowledge.
- Understand how their present level affects performance.
- Example: If the person hasn’t started studying, the current state is zero preparation.
3. Choices (C) - Identify Options and Consequences
- Explore different approaches to reaching the goal.
- Consider potential challenges and their impacts.
- Example: The choices could include:
- Studying 2 hours per day → Gradual improvement.
- Taking a crash course → Quick learning but high pressure.
4. Actions (A) - Develop an Action Plan
- Set clear, immediate, and achievable goals.
- Focus on execution and accountability.
- Example: Creating a study schedule, completing a set number of practice tests each week.
5. Review (R) - Track Progress and Stay Motivated
- Conduct regular check-ins and offer support.
- Ensure consistency and adaptation if needed.
- Example: Weekly review meetings to assess study progress and motivation levels.
Summary
- Outcome: Define the goal (Future state).
- Situation: Assess current abilities (Current state).
- Choices: Identify possible solutions and their effects.
- Actions: Implement the selected approach.
- Review: Monitor progress and keep the individual engaged.
By using the OSCAR model, leaders and coaches can guide individuals from their current state to the desired future state effectively.
