coaching employees

When you’re swamped with work, it’s hard to make time to coach
your employees - and do it well. But if you don’t help them build
their skills, they’ll keep coming to you for answers instead of finding
their own solutions. That kind of hand-holding kills productivity and
creativity, and you can’t sustain it. In the long run, it eats up a lot
more time and energy than investing in people’s development.
So you really must coach to be an effective manager.
Got a star on your team who’s eager to advance?
An under performer who’s dragging the group down?
A steady contributor who feels bored and neglected?
With all of them, you’ll need to agree on goals for growth, motivate
them to achieve those goals, support their efforts, and measure
their progress.
