Coaching and Team Building

Today I am preparing for an on site training program, "Coaching Skills for Supervisors & Managers."  Some key points I will share are:

1. Coaching is not managing. Coaching is listening, asking good questions, and focuses on the employee's best interest.
2. Good coaches practice Stephen Covey's  "7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
3. The Coach's Credo states, "Everybody has greatness within them. As a coach, it is my privilege to assist individuals to unlock their greatness and to release it for their career success."
4. To be a good coach a manager must understand the company's mission, the department's mission, and his/her mission.
5. In order to effectively coach the employee must be trained and know what is expected.
6. A good coach develops a good team by evaluating strengths and weaknesses then assigning tasks and duties accordingly.
7. A good coach helps their team set SMART goals.

If you would like to know more about Coaching vs. Managing or if you are interested in training at your facility, please contact me, I would be happy to help!
