Coaching Employees: A Framework For Success
Boost Performance And Productivity While Reducing Employee Turnover
This proven success plan guides you step by step through every aspect of coaching employees.
In 90-minutes or less after reading this Blueprint you'll be able to identify who needs coaching (and why), develop coaching plans for your employees (in a way that isn't a time suck), gain commitment to improve (not just compliance), deliver penetrating coaching in the most effective way – and finally, how to measure success.
In this Blueprint, you’ll discover:
- How to get your employees who think they don’t need coaching to “want” it – and not just go through the motions because they “have to.”
- How to decide when and what type of coaching is needed – and how to fit it into your always busy schedule.
- How to deliver coaching in a way that isn’t preachy, criticizing or that makes employees feel like they’re being disciplined.
- How to sustain improvements from your coaching so the employee doesn’t drift back into bad habits or poor performance.
- How to measure the effectiveness of your coaching – from the employee’s perspective and your own.
