Coaching Skills for Managers & Supervisors

"63% of organizations use some form of internal coaching, and half of the rest plan to. Yet coaching is a small part of the job description for most managers. Nearly half spend less than 10% of their time coaching others." – Conference Board survey

Coaching Skills

Every job is actually performed by two people – the employee who is paid to accomplish results and the manager who is paid to ensure that this happens.

So when staff members become unproductive, unmotivated, or disruptive, a manager's first thought should be, "How do I get things back on track?" The answer to that question almost always involves coaching.

Join us Friday, October 11, for Coaching Skills for Managers & Supervisors and you will learn when coaching is needed and why managers sometimes avoid these conversations. You will also be given specific strategies for conducting a successful coaching discussion, dealing with difficult employees, and following up to ensure success. Finally, we will consider what to do when coaching doesn't work.

In every management job, coaching challenges occur on a regular basis. New employees confront learning curves, seasoned staff members tackle unfamiliar tasks, and difficult employees create workplace problems. But 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.

Join us October 11 to find out all the secrets to effectively coaching others to improved performance.
