  6. What we hope you take away
  7. As an isolated question, a study conducted by Bersin by Deloitte showed that organizations with senior leaders who coach effectively and frequently improve their business results by 21 percent as compared to those who never coach. More broadly, organizations that invest in leadership development are more profitable, more innovative, and more likely to be market share leaders than their peers. It’s just no longer optional to take the time and allocate the resources to effectively develop leaders at every level of your organization. One of the most significant issues confronting businesses today is a glaring lack of next generation leaders, coupled with a stunning lack of success for both newly promoted leaders and leaders recruited from outside the organization; you have a genuine leadership talent crisis brewing. Which makes effectively coaching current leaders and current talent mission critical for organizations. Top Missing Skills in Mid level leaders Coaching Performance appraisal Developing others managing change Communications Business acumen
  8. What is “coaching”? Business Coaching – typically what we think of in manager/employee situation. Coaching in a business setting. Executive Coaching – usually an outside expert hired to assist senior executives with specific develop issues, challenges or questions Career Coaching – situation where a person – usually in job search mode – gets assistance with career direction and job search advice Life Coaching – emerging form of “coaching” directed at helping people find a greater sense of fulfillment and happiness Definitions are as confusing as the “types” of coaches With all of this confusion, how do we match coach to employee or situation?

  11. No one-size-fits all definition, model or method Must be right for BOTH coach and subject/coachee Factors: Personalities Learning preferences Distance & technology comfort Objectives Relative experience of parties
  12. Models do not help comprehend the skills needed to effectively execute the process, or deliver, on the desired results of improved performance. That is the big gap that many coaches find frustrating when studying or learning a specific model. For instance, the GROW model is a very good model in many situations. But how does the coach effectively communicate the “R” (reality) aspect of the model to a subject or employee who lacks self-awareness or who reacts emotionally? The skills and competencies needed to navigate this situation and series of conversations don’t lend themselves to the simplicity of a linear model that GROW implies. The skills are nuanced, complex and take time to master. All of the models beg a fundamental question. What does it take to be an effective coach?
  13. We want to emphasize that there is nothing wrong with these models!!!!! For many coaches, one or more of the models will be enormously useful. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions when dealing with human beings, and performance improvement certainly fits into that category. Each coach, employee and situation will be different, so the models may be useful as is or with modification to provide a framework for the coaching process.
  14. COACHING IS BUILDING ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIPS AND MANAGING A PROCESS THAT RESULT IN SPECIFIC IMPROVED PERFORMANCE IN TARGETED AREAS. The two elements – relationship and process – are the two constants that you can rely upon as points of reference. So let’s work from there. The third element of our definition is the idea of improved performance. This should always be the objective of every coaching engagement, without exception.
  15. What do people need? What do people offer? What does the organization need? What does the organization offer? HOW do you help client/coachee bridge the gaps between needs & offers? Coaching is a process. It’s not an event. It’s not just a relationship. It’s not about friendship. It’s not about power or a hierarchy. It’s a process driven relationship with a clear objective, and that goal is to help the subject of the coaching to improved performance. IS there a blue arrow in the development of a successful coach?
  16. What are the obligations of managers? The answer to this question varies from organization to organization based upon a number of factors such as industry, culture, department, skill level of the team, etc. Regardless of the organization, at the very heart of this question lies a dilemma. If you need compliance, or supervision of employees, the things your organization needs managers to do well has a clear, well-delineated set of guidelines and boundaries. On the other hand, if the answer leans towards the successful achievement of goals, the things you need managers to do well are probably less defined. Managers may have to perform well, depending upon a variety of situations at various places along this continuum, ranging from ensuring employees comply with established processes and procedures at one end, to career development and skill improvement towards the other end. Who’s to say which of the outcomes is more or less important? In fact, we’d probably agree that the outcomes suggested by such a continuum are all important depending upon the situation. With so many possible outcomes and objectives legitimately competing for our managers’ attention, are there a set of uniform skills or competencies we can use to guide our managers ongoing training and development?
  17. With so many possible outcomes and objectives legitimately competing for our managers’ attention, are there a set of uniform skills or competencies we can use to guide our managers ongoing training and development? Common traits, skills and behaviors. Effective coaches are forward looking, optimistic in nature and outwardly focused. Great coaches are not motivated by their own success. They are motivated to help others succeed. How to balance the skills of learning facilitator vs. educator/facilitator? ESSENTIAL TRAITS, BEHAVIORS, & SKILLS FOR COACHES TRAITS: Positive Future oriented Curious SKILLS: Collaborative Learning facilitator Teacher BEHAVIORS: Continuous learner Outward focus Active, engaged listener
  18. COMMUNICATION Complex communication skills are necessary for effective coaching. These skills include active listening, understanding how to frame and ask questions, courageous conversations, etc. Coaching is not the time for your more senior leaders to learn these skills. Active listening Learning to frame and ask effective questions Courageous conversations Purpose of communication is to: identify obstacles to employee success Find solutions or ways to overcome obstacles Establish agreed upon definitions of success and plan of action Gain commitment and engagement

  20. Q from Shelly: What do you do if the employee is not curious?  How do you know if they curious? Q from Susan: If they don't have any of the three--time to let go? Have you ever sat in your office questioning why numbers aren’t where they should be or why performance isn’t higher than expected? It’s easy to immediately blame the employee- to start picking apart habits- say they should be working longer hours, wondering why aren’t they doing it this way, why are they doing it that way… ultimately thinking… maybe they aren’t right for the job. I certainly have had these thoughts.   It’s easy for a manager who is under stress and pressure to immediately react to problems. Whether it is to tell the employee that they need to improve, change or work harder- these often don’t yield long term results. These actions can often be destructive, by creating fear and an unhealthy work environment. Additionally, these actions can impact other employees infecting the culture.   Some managers know it is important to put a coaching plan in place, but often wonder why they fail. Is it the process or the employee?   What I have learned is that you have to take a step back and ask yourself 3 questions about the employee. Do they have the capacity to perform?- does the employee have the attitude and willingness to learn and grow into a top performer? Are they curious? – does the employee want to learn new things and show a desire to learn those things? Do they have a positive attitude? - are they excited about personal growth? If the answers to these 3 questions are yes, then you have employee that is coachable! Forget about what they have done in the past. Forget about what they should be doing. Determine what skills today they need help with and develop a plan.     A coaching process looks like this: Meet with your employee and share with them your confidence in their abilities and willingness to solve the problem. Specifically describe the performance problem, using data and examples. Focus on the specific behavior that needs improvement. Identify with the employee if there are any barriers from allowing them to work on or address this problem. Work to remove those roadblocks. Ask the employee for ideas on how to correct the problem. Discuss potential solutions, provide training recommendations and list actions to take. Write down an action plan and get buy in! List what the employee will do and what you will do as their leader in working on a solution. Find an end in sight- A specific time and date for follow up and progress check-ins must be included. Reinforce good performance- Catch employees doing it right and demonstrating positive behaviors. This will help boost employee confidence.   If you are struggling with coaching employees, take time to revisit the 3 magic questions. Coaching employees is a standard competency of management and leadership positions. Often times this skill is found to be an afterthought or only pointed out as a weakness when results are poor. Coaching employees is a very rewarding experience that builds trust and a positive work environment. It produces results and contributes to the bottom line.  
  21. Since the core objective of the coaching relationship is to improve performance, your coaches need to understand exactly what elements of the work environment actually serve to improve employee performance. This may seem like a ridiculously self-evident part of coaching, but it’s surprising and almost shocking how many “coaches” do not really understand performance management and improvement. They may be great communicators and skilled business professionals. But they may have no foundational comprehension of things like motivation (intrinsic compared to extrinsic), engagement, productivity, conflict resolution skills, etc. The precise blend and mix of performance improvement elements in each organization will vary some, but generally you want to make sure coaches understand the principles of and causes of motivation and engagement, and how to apply these principles to improve day-to-day performance Engagement – what are the foundations of employee engagement Motivation – differences between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation Goal setting Delegating Objective is to find ways to help employee achieve a higher level of performance in specific targeted areas, skills or competencies.

  23. Coaches need to have a high degree of business acumen. This forms a foundational set of knowledge and experience from which the coach can pull lessons and advice for her employee, subject or student. Business acumen is a highly evolved competency. Well-developed sense of business acumen usually takes time to establish in employees. Having coaches with a deep core understanding of the way businesses operate and the ability to translate the understanding into effective decision making is vital to successful coaching of junior managers and leaders. Professional level understanding of the way businesses operate and function Ability to make sound business decisions Sound foundation in the core industry in which organization operates Objective is to guide employee through decision-making (not make decisions FOR employee),
  24. COMMUNICATION Complex communication skills are necessary for effective coaching. These skills include active listening, understanding how to frame and ask questions, courageous conversations, etc. Coaching is not the time for your more senior leaders to learn these skills. Active listening Learning to frame and ask effective questions Courageous conversations Purpose of communication is to: identify obstacles to employee success Find solutions or ways to overcome obstacles Establish agreed upon definitions of success and plan of action Gain commitment and engagement
  25. The global workplace is getting more complicated. Workplaces are more diverse in any demographic metric – age, gender, nationality, cultural, linguistic, etc. Emotional intelligence has always been at the heart of successful leaders, and likewise emotional intelligence is required for successful and effective coaches. No two employees are the same. Effective coaches know how to reach, guide and develop every employee they touch. This skill, these results, require a highly developed sense of emotional intelligence to read and understand people and to respond to the wide variety of coaching situations that will arise. What is Emotional Intelligence? Developing Self-Awareness Developing Self-Motivation Developing Self-Regulation Developing Effective Relationships Developing Empathy Understand how to express and control our own emotions. Ability to understand and interpret and respond to the emotions of others. Objective is to be prepared to guide employees through inevitable workplace conflicts and difficult situations. Additionally, with workplaces becoming more and more diverse, a highly attuned level of emotional intelligence will be crucial to long-term success for any employee. http://eqforsuccess.com/what-is-emotional-intelligence/ The study describes a process of increasing self-awareness, self-management and self-direction.  These learnable skills appear to make managers more capable of building a workplace climate, or environment, where employees are effective. http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/4284-emotional-intelligence-critical-organizational-skills.html Data tells us emotional intelligence is more important to life-long business success than any other single factor!

  27. ADD : Getting managers to take time to coach
  28. Coaching Something managers must do for all their staff, a required part of the job Takes place within the confines of the formal line manager-employee relationship Is job and performance focused - focuses on developing the individual within their current job. Interest is functional – arises out of the need to ensure that the individual can perform the tasks required of the job to the best of their ability. Relationship tends to be initiated and driven by the individual’s manager. Relationship is finite – ends as individuals move on to work in other jobs under other line managers. Mentoring Formal, the individual’s manager is not the mentor Takes place outside the line manager relationship. Is focused on professional development that may be outside of the mentorees area of work. Interest of the mentor is personal in that the focus is on the mentoree to provide support both professionally and personally. Relationship may be initiated by mentor and/or matched by organization. Relationship crosses job boundaries. Informally, managers may choose to do for specific, selected employees.
