Coaching Skills for Managers & Supervisors
Since no one is born knowing how to be a coach, managers must learn the specific skills and techniques required to handle these situations effectively.
Smart businesses know it's easier to keep a customer than it is to find new ones. The same principle applies to employees. Employers invest thousands of dollars to acquire a new employee — not to mention the time and resources they pour into recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding and training new staff.
It comes down to a cost-benefit analysis. What are the relative costs of replacing a staff member compared with salvaging an already-established relationship?
In every management job, coaching challenges occur on a regular basis. But these irregular times are posing new challenges for managers. Since no one is born knowing how to be a coach, managers must learn the specific skills and techniques required to handle these difficult situations effectively.
Order Coaching Skills for Managers and Supervisors and learn specific strategies for getting things back on track.
