“If managers manage by the principles of coaching, they both get the job done to a higher standard and develop their people simultaneously. It sounds too good to be true to have 250 days a year of getting the job done and 250 days a year of staff development per person, but that is precisely what the manager-coach gets.” – John Whitmore, Coaching for Performance: GROWing People, Performance and Purpose.

Course In a Nutshell

Do you find it difficult to communicate with your employees about their performance? Do they react defensively when given performance feedback? Do you encounter push back when you request them to do something for you? Do you yearn for a proven way to manage, develop and motivate people simultaneously?

Leaders may or may not be born, but coaches are definitely made. This managing by coaching process is a system for coaching and feedback that works whether you are dealing with a new employee or a seasoned veteran. You will learn skills for giving feedback which will have your employees thanking you for the constructiveness in which it is offered. You will learn how to inspire, motivate, and support your employees while giving them the direction, clarity, meaning and purpose they need and deserve.
