Performance Coaching Skills
One Day
Coaching is one of the most important acts
of leadership. Successful managers recognise that to
get things done cost effectively they must ‘grow’
people to their full potential. Outstanding performance
must be drawn from every member of the team. This requires
clear direction, feedback and improvement advice. We often hear record-breaking athletes
say ‘I owe it to my coach’. That’s because
however talented they are, athletes need a coach to improve
their performance and competitiveness. Annual performance appraisals and quarterly reviews
are not enough. Organisations need to create a culture
where coaching and feedback occur as a routine part
of each day.
Being less of a boss and more of a coach is fundamental
to modern management. Urging people to do better will
not work unless they know how to do it better.
This innovative one day programme explains a structured
approach to coaching which is effective whether participants
are working with a new recruit or seeking improvement
from an experienced player.
Good coaching builds trust and a collaborative climate
between manager and team. The process involves breaking
tasks down to their component parts, helping people
improve performance in each element and enabling them
to pull these elements together to achieve the desired
effect.
The program is perfect for managers, team leaders and
professionals at all levels who want to become effective
at coaching others
