Coaching Skills for Supervisors: Become the Great Boss Every Employee Wants to Work For

When managers and supervisors master the art of coaching, their direct reports are fiercely loyal to the company, have infectious enthusiasm for the work they do and want to spend the rest of their career growing along with your business.

When they fail to “get” the magic of coaching, retention, productivity and morale will suffer.

Coaching isn’t just about patting people on the back. It’s a powerful tool managers can use to help employees realize their career aspirations. Great coaches know their people. What are they good at? Not so good at? What’s their potential? What are their limitations? And, most important, where do they want to go in their careers? Armed with that knowledge, great coaches structure jobs and work environments that allow each individual to flourish. They provide appropriate resources and training. They continually monitor progress and provide feedback, knowing when to encourage but also when to be brutally honest.

The conference will get managers and supervisors to embrace coaching as a breakthrough management tool, and will describe the key skills of an effective coach. At the end of this conference, participants will understand:
