Enabling modern managers
Module: Everyday Coaching
From those available to us as managers, a Coaching mode has become foundational for driving engagement and performance in modern teams. And it’s a mode that can be combined with others at the moments that matter.
Embracing everyday coaching as a performance methodology enables managers to more effectively enable others within the flow of work; and to enrich the more structured conversations within their organisation’s performance cycle.
In this module we establish the imperative of continuously identifying coachable moments, and distinguishing them from others requiring a more Directive approach. And we start to establish the listening, questioning and broader communication skills to make the most of these moments — and to conclude conversations with mutually agreed action points.
