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

May 15, 2008
2:00-3:00 PM Eastern

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.

Learning Objectives:

  1. What coaching is and what makes it so effective.
  2. The #1 thing that most managers DON’T do when they begin coaching.
  3. Coaching models that managers can use with their direct reports.
  4. The 7 biggest mistakes and pitfalls in coaching.
  5. A 5-step ‘conversation template’ for delivering effective employee coaching.
  6. The importance of ‘ownership’ of outcomes and how to encourage continuous improvement.
  7. Where coaching fits into your leadership toolkit.
  8. When and with whom to use coaching - and when NOT to use it.
  9. What to say” and “How to say it” when you start coaching your people.
  10. The importance of non-verbal communication when coaching.
  11. How to prepare, deliver and review coaching sessions to continually build your skills.
  12. Common misconceptions about coaching, coaches, and managers who coach.
  13. Why some managers fail as coaches – and what to do about it.
  14. What is the payback/ROI for implementing a coaching culture?
  15. How to get started on coaching quickly and easily.
