Developing and Coaching Others

Despite slogans that tell employees that they “are responsible for their own growth and development,” the reality is clear – without motivation, support, and coaching from managers, employees have a difficult time developing their talents on their own.

Research shows that the support and effective involvement of managers is the single most important factor in determining whether what an employee learns in a classroom transfers into behavior change on-the-job. Managers who are effectively involved in the growth and development of their employees make behavior change happen. It takes managers who:

• Continuously support and coach the development of their employees
• Positively impact learners before, during and after each element in a learning process
• Effectively handle “coaching moments” so that employees teach themselves

Experience suggests, however, that many organizations do not require or equip managers to coach and develop their employees. Thus a lot of time, money, and resources invested in training and developing employees too often results in little to no behavioral change or performance improvement.

Developing and Coaching Others is about how managers can effectively and successfully develop and coach their team leaders to become better and more consistent performers. The program will help your managers learn the specifics of how they can effectively impact the learning process and coaching moments of their teams to make the difference.
