The act of coaching and mentoring is one of the most effective ways to develop employee potential.

More about Coaching SkillsBusiness coaching aims to help employees become more effective by supporting and actively involving employees in the process. Coaching directly influences employee adaptability, productivity, and retention, and effective coaching is necessary for overall organizational success. Coaching skills can be used in many areas, such as interpersonal relationships among teams, clients, customers, and managers.
Effective coaching can support breaking down large goals into manageable steps. Effective coaching also helps hold individuals accountable to their commitments to quickly produce results.
There is a specific process that a manager should follow in coaching:
During a coaching session, the manager should detail why the coaching is necessary, then specifically define the opportunity or issue, analyze all of the options and possible outcomes, and, finally, develop an action plan for reaching a desired result.
A manager needs to build trust with their employee from the very beginning of the coaching process. However, if the employee doesn’t trust the manager, they will resist being coached. The leader should ask open-ended questions and determine the best way to approach the issues. As a result, the ways in which team members should be trained will be revealed.
Different employees may require different approaches. The manager should gather as much information as possible about the situation in order to decide how to proceed. This is why effective assessments are crucial at the beginning of the process. Coaching skills training can help managers learn how to better mentor their direct reports.
