Once used to bolster troubled staff, coaching is now part of the standard leadership development training for elite executives and talented up-and-comers at IBM, Motorola, JPMorgan Chase, and Hewlett-Packard. These companies are discreetly giving their best prospects what star athletes have long had: a trusted adviser to help reach their goals.”
—from the Associated Press
What is the difference between a mediocre manager and a good coach?
You work for the manager. You work with the coach. Coaches never beg or threaten employees to increase productivity. They improve performance by giving their teams the desire, ability, and responsibility to achieve success. While some bad managers are seen only as disciplinarians, coaches are looked to as trusted allies. Mediocre managers are forgotten, but great coaches are remembered throughout their employees’ careers.
What are the advantages of becoming a better coach?
Effective coaches create the ultimate win-win scenario: They give their staff enhanced confidence and improved competency, and they benefit from the better attitudes and increased performance of their team. Coaches transform the workplace into an inspirational environment where employees want to succeed. In short, coaches get the job done better.
How do I improve my coaching skills?
Fortunately, coaching skills are learned skills. Just like learning how to give an effective speech or conduct an employee evaluation, transitioning from an average manager to an excellent coach takes training. That’s why HR expert Carol Hacker and Ragan Management Resources have come together to present an essential Webinar to help you become a better coach. In just 75 minutes, you’ll learn the theory, best practices, and practical steps to become an outstanding coach.
