Learning Objectives • To understand the value of coaching in a manager’s work • To learn how to determine when to coach • To develop basic competence in applying coaching skills
Effective coaching This can be the single most important thing you do at work….. ….because you will have an impact on others
Components of Effective Coaching • Assess knowledge • Show and explain how you want the task or procedure done • Ask the employee to perform the task – ask for understanding before the assignment • Evaluate the employee’s performance and provide feedback
Learning how to drive a car • Student – what is your learning style? • Teacher – what is your teaching style?
Learning styles • Visual, auditory, or spatial? • Talk to think, or think before talk? • Focused on the task, or like interruptions? • Ask questions first, or plunge right in? • “Big picture”, or detail-oriented? • Quick or deliberate?
Coaching Good Work • When you see it, say it! • Be specific
Coaching Poor Work • Don’t do it in public! • Make it positive • Let the learner choose their own path • Be caring • Ask questions • Be gentle, but direct • You’ve got to do it!
