The key to effective coaching


Establish expectations for your employees

When we spend more time coaching our employees, not only will we improve weak performance and teach new skills to team members but we’ll also foster strong relationships with them. And the first step of the coaching process is to establish expectations for each of your employees.

Before you meet with employees to set your expectations, take these steps:

1. Decide where you need to set expectations. Do you need to address a performance slip or behavioral problem? Set new goals for the employee? Support a new company initiative? Outline specific areas for each employee.

2. Ensure that you understand the expectations. Make sure you can clearly articulate your expectations before you meet with employees. If you don’t fully grasp what you are asking for, you can’t expect your employees to.

3. Make certain that you can justify your expectations. Employees will need to see the bigger picture before they will commit to making any changes.

Once you have outlined specific and clear expectations for employees, sit down with them individually or as a group to discuss your expectations, answer their questions, respond to their concerns and gain their commitment.  

The top performers in any endeavor have coaches to help them maintain their performance and continue to improve, but the very best both receive coaching and gain even more by coaching others as well.
