Performance
Coaching is
one approach to motivating and guiding your team to success and top box OYB
Performance.
Here are 7 Steps
you can follow to coach your team and achieve great results:
1.
Identify the Opportunity: For you, the team, region, client or the company.
2.
Picture the Desired Outcome: What ill the situation look like when the gap is filled?
3.
Establish the Right Attitudes: How well you know your people may determine if you have
people in the right capacities and how they are motivated. Very important to
effective coaching and not just overcoming resistance.
4.
Provide the Resources: To be successful, it is important the appropriate resources
bee available. This includes time, and a personal commitment to succeed by all
involved.
5.
Practice and Skill Development: Once the resources are in place and the correct skill set
has been identified, explained and demonstrated, it is now time for the trainee
to practice and apply what has been learned. In order for knowledge to evolve
into a skill we practice it and perfect the skill with the help of a coach.
6.
Reinforce Progress: Making progress is one thing, but without a way to
reinforce it and keep it in place people may quickly go back to the way they
did things before. One of the biggest fallacies managers hold to is
the assumption that if people know something they will do it.
a.
Empower people to get results after they have
learned new skills
b.
Give the right kind of feedback
c.
Follow up
d.
Handle non -performance issues
e.
Handle mistakes when people get off track.
7.
Reward: One
of the best ways to cement growth and progress is to reward it.
What we reward gets repeated!
What gets repeated becomes habit!
To ensure change happens
quickly and is kept in place as long as needed, celebration and reward are
important.
