Coaching employees is a critical skill that results in high performing teams. Leaders usually think of this skill only when they reach a point where they…

• Wonder why people don’t do what they are supposed to do
• Feel like a babysitter instead of a leader
• Get nervous when they have to give negative feedback
• Dread giving performance reviews
• Get tired of hearing the same excuses over and over
• Get tongue-tied when people push back or argue

The best leaders make coaching part of their regular routine. They invest time in coaching all their employees. They treat feedback as a gift, not a punishment, and they do it in a way that lifts people up in a meaningful way.

Successful coaching sessions result in:

• Highly engaged employees
• Fewer complaints
• A positive work environment

Why? Because when you have all the tools in place, your employees know that you’re coaching them because you want them to be successful.
