Description

This is an invaluable tool that will help all leaders coach employees, colleagues, and themselves to excellence.

To stay on top, companies need to do more than just survive, they need to grow. Thus, their employees need to develop and improve their skills at the same pace.

Brian Emerson and Ann Loehr have spent years showing some of the country's top companies how to develop their most promising employees. In this helpful manual, they guide managers through every step of the coaching process, from problem solving to developing accountability.

In A Manager's Guide to Coaching, you will discover:

• the top 10 tips every manager should know before he starts to coach
• how to handle difficult conversations, conflicting priorities, and problem team members
• how to hold follow-up meetings after goals and priorities have been set
• sample questions they can adapt to various situations
• examples of common problems and how they can use coaching to address them.

More than ever, managers are being encouraged to improve employee performance through effective coaching, but many lack the time or knowledge it takes to do so. A Manager's Guide to Coaching teaches you how to coach your team effectively and successfully.
