Coaching Can Increase Performance
Coaching Always Matters
Coaching matters regardless of whether it's good or bad.
The hard part is you can do everything right as a coach, but you can't claim the change for anyone else.
However, take solace in knowing that great coaching doesn't guarantee positive results, but a lack of coaching guarantees poor results.
If you care about your coaching skills or helping develop the coaching skills of others, this week is for you.
I. The title of coach is temporary, but the impact of coaching lasting.
What it means:
For most people, "coaching" produces an image of the coach of their favorite sports team or the face of a youth coach from their younger days. While those are examples of coaches, coaching is different. Coaching is a verb. It's the action a person takes to help improve the current and future performance of others to achieve higher levels of excellence.
Whether you have the title of manager, or are responsible for helping leaders in your organization coach more effectively, your efforts can make a lasting impact.
II. Trust is earned in drops and it’s lost in buckets.
What it means:
If you want to coach employees to higher levels of performance, you need relationships built on the bond of mutual trust and respect.
Trust is the foundational element on which every relationship is built or broken. To build trust, every manager or coach must consistently show they care, share their competence, and expose their character.
III. People don’t grow accidentally, they grow intentionally.
What it means:
Growth starts at the end of your comfort zone. The majority of people won’t go there unless it’s intentional.
It’s mind-blowing how many managers wait for an annual performance review to identify areas of opportunity for growth for their people. It’s as if they hope people are growing versus being intentional about creating opportunities for it.
