8 Key Steps To Coaching Your Employees Successfully
8 Key Steps To Coaching Your Employees Successfully
You need to encourage them, plan the action with them, make sure that they all know what they are going to do 'on the field', play on each one’s strengths and make sure you are there to listen to their problems and confusions and guide them as and when required.
As a manager your responsibilities include coaching your employees. You should ideally be a role model for all those working under you. Instead of randomly demanding results from your employees, learn to motivate and extract better results from them.
You should know them well enough to understand what they can and can’t do, what the extent of their knowledge is and their particular strengths.
If you are doing this for the first time the task can be quite daunting. Given below are some tips that would make your job simpler.
1. The first obvious question, is how to maintain your output objectives while simultaneously giving your employees individual attention and inspiration to give in their best.
2. You have to understand that coaching your employees is not leading them by the hand and spoon-feeding them. Rather it is building objectives, goals and motivating people to achieve the same.
3. You need to spend time with your team members to understand them better. You don’t need to have professional managerial training to do a good job out of managing people working under you. All you need to do is to take it one step at a time and be confident and assertive about whatever you do.
4. Whenever a person in your team does well, make sure you applaud them and give them due recognition. Even though they know when they do well, it always helps to get a word of praise from your boss. It motivates them to do better in future.
5. Your team is a collective unit but each player is unique. Spend time with each of them and understand how you can motivate them best. Once you get comfortable you can ask them directly if you have to.
6. You can pick out one person from your team at regular intervals and study them individually - their work habits; their inter-relationships with other people in the team etc. This way you can figure out where they need help.
7. You can take tips from your own coach or mentor or take short-term courses to become better and more efficient in your role.
8. Like each member of your team is unique, so is the case with managers. Each manager has a style of his/her own. By utilizing your own strengths, you will find that you are able to extract the best from anyone in your team - and sometimes you will be better than other managers. It's just down to style and capability.
But whichever way you do it, you have to remember that coaching your employees is a vital part of any and every managerial position.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
