Leading and Coaching People to Higher Performance
Maximize a limited resource: your staff
How do you create and sustain an environment of motivation and achievement? How do you encourage higher performance from your staff? Undertaking two important behavioral transitions will help you to attain your objectives while improving staff performance.
First, you want to develop your own approach to leadership, an approach that stays true to who you are while providing motivation to those who report to you. Secondly, you want to be able to coach your people successfully by having the right one-on-one conversations, inspirational conversations that provide tips for improvement and clear direction for getting started.
These skills are two sides of the same coin, and both sides are important if you want to be a successful manager. In “Leading and Coaching People to Higher Performance,” you will recognize the role your leadership can play, both in individuals and teams.
Return to your workplace knowing how to:
- Identify the leadership style that works for you…and your team
- Lead your employees by helping them gain a greater sense of responsibility and pride
- Be relaxed and confident in giving constructive feedback
- Increase accountability among your direct reports
- Collect feedback from multiple sources to help your employees improve their performance
- Coach for immediate performance improvements
