coaching-for-performance

Our Approach

A Coaching Skills Program is required to position coaching as a vital skill in the performance management process. The program makes clear distinctions between Coaching and Counseling, so that managers/employees will be clear which tool is more effective in supporting performance improvement. The program will emphasize the longer-term benefits of an investment of time in using coaching. The content of this program will also include an understanding of when and where to use coaching effectively, (and where not to use it), how to use an evidence gathering process to collect factual behavioral data to support the feedback process, and establishes the concept that responsibility for performance remains with the ‘performer’. The model requires the coach to follow a structured process that aims first to gain overall commitment from the coachee, and then looks at current performance, and then establishes commitment to performance improvement action by the coachee.

The methodology involves participants repeatedly working in ‘threes’ as Coach, Coachee and Observer, learning through trial and feedback from their peers. The content includes sessions on behavioral development in Active Listening and Sensitivity, core behaviors for effective skill development as a coach. The content outline for the proposed workshop is given below. It includes context setting so that:

 Participants understand where coaching fits in to their leadership responsibilities.

 A common understanding of ‘Performance’ is created, whereby the responsibility for performance remains clearly with the ‘performer’.

 Through learning about ‘Situational Leadership’, participants can understand when, and with whom, to use coaching more intensively.
