Secondly, it helps hold individuals accountable to their commitments to more 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 coming to 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. And as a result, the ways in which the team member 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.
