A Practical Guide to Improving Employee Performance
Becoming an outstanding coach requires that you help each individual on your team – yes, even the people who are tough to like – become successful. Whether you realize it or not, you have the power to be successful by helping others succeed.
Some managers think that coaching is solely about addressing negative performance. And, to be sure, that is an important part. But the process of coaching involves more than that. It includes staying in touch with everyone on your team – even your best performers – and providing them with the information they need to be even more successful. You see, every interaction with team members is a coaching occasion – an opportunity to create a positive, winning climate by clarifying goals, prioritizing tasks, listening to their ideas, and providing recognition.
You want an idea of your team’s current climate? Look around. Are people smiling? Do they look you in the eyes? Is there evidence of any recent success – banners, trophies, new record postings? How about the workspace? Are people proud to keep it clean, or is “stuff” lying all over the place?
One of the keys to creating a winning, positive climate is to spend time with your team. Start your day by roaming the halls, asking questions, and visiting with team members. It’s a good habit – and a great investment of your time and energy.
Coaching begins with creating an environment where people want to be part of a winning team. You have the power to make that happen!

Coaching isn’t an addition to a leader’s job,
