Coaching employees
Coaching has quickly become the most popular paradigm for describing the process of interpersonally helping and supporting employees. Coaching is the process of observing and intervening with an employee, with the goal of identifying skill-improvement opportunities in support of short-term performance. Increasingly being a great coach is required for your next promotion. In two other lynda.com courses, New Manager Fundamentals and Motivating and Engaging Employees, I address the coaching process. Here, I want to talk to you about a slightly more advanced take on coaching.
Coaching high performers towards stretch opportunities. Where as coaching is typically focused on discrete personal behaviors, and inter-personal behaviors, at its outer limits coaching isn't just about building new skills. It's about applying skills in new ways. Coaching an employee to new levels of achievement often requires stretching and growing their role. And when you seek to stretch and grow an employee the risks are big because they have to tackle new learning curves.Source: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/performance-review-foundations/coaching-employees
