Overview
When managers and supervisors spend too little time managing performance, work slips, resources are wasted, deadlines are missed and customers complain. This performance management and coaching webinar for busy managers shows how better coaching leads to better performance.
Daily pressure and shifting priorities are part of the problem, but many leaders are simply unsure how to tell employees what they are doing well and what they need to improve. You'll get tools and tactics to improve poor or marginal performance by finding the real reasons and agreeing on specific actions, to correct poor work habits such as lateness or inappropriate dress before they spread, and to recognize good or improved performance so it continues.
Building these coaching skills strengthens leadership across the organization and supports performance, engagement and retention.
Why attend: Coaching is a core part of every manager's, supervisor's and team leader's job, whatever the work. Done well, it resolves poor performance, reinforces the right behavior and motivates individuals and teams, but there is a right way to coach and many wrong ones. This hands-on session focuses on proven coaching practices and suits CEOs and COOs, HR leaders and professionals, chief learning officers, directors, project and operations managers, supervisors and team leaders.
