HO TO COACH
Step 1 – Establish Goals
§ Work with your employee.
§ What are you willing to accept?
§ Focus on behaviour, not emotions or attitudes - you can see behaviour.
§ Ask for employee input – Collaborate.
§ WRITE THE GOALS DOWN!!
Goals should be SMART!
Step 2 – Collect Performance Data
§ Don’t start analyzing/concluding yet – Just COLLECT.
§ Focus on behaviour, not judgments/inferences.
§ Use:
o Personal observation
o Interviews
o Reviews
o Reports
o Feedback
Step 3 – Analyze Performance
§ Did it meet goal?
§ If Not, Why? Training? Knowledge?
Personal? Changes? Technology? Policies? Time?
Step 4 – Review and Modify Goals
§ Checkpoint: You know the goal, and you’ve “seen” the performance.
§ Can we get there? If not, how should the goal be changed?
§ Colaborate!
