Huddle Up!
Hey, coach! No, your employees don't need a swift kick in the butt to reach their goals; they just need some personal attention.
Most managers just don't know how to coach. They don't
even see development of their people as their responsibility. But
when you do develop your employees, they'll be willing to walk
through brick walls for you. That's how powerful a motivator
coaching is." So says Jeff Lugerner, a vice president at the
Growth and Leadership Center, an executive development firm in
Mountain View, California.
How will employees get to their next level of performance?
Proactive owners and managers know the only reliable way is to
provide individual employees with a boost by offering the
coaching--disciplined, one-on-one counseling--they need to learn
the path to take and the how-to of overcoming the obstacles
they'll find along the way.
What's more, today's low unemployment rate means you
have to do something to help your employees because you probably
can't hire new ones--"at least, you can't do it
easily," says Janelle Brittain, executive director of Dynamic
Performance Institute, a consulting firm in Chicago that
specializes in coaching and team-building. So if you want better
workers, nowadays you've got to help make them yourself.
