Advanced Leadership Skills – How to Measure and Coach in Order to Grow, Engage, Empower, and Retain

Most newly hired and recently promoted employees in today’s companies are not job/responsibility ready, and often they have yet to develop the entrepreneurial skills appropriate to the company’s environment.

It is vital to be able to retain, inspire, and empower your employees by setting an example of what a great attitude and performance look like.

When everyone takes charge of their influence and power, everyone wins. It is important to feel good about yourself, your associates, your potential, and each opportunity to contribute to the organization.

This will help each employee to develop a commitment to quality service, use their creativity to establish a mentality of "Continuous Improvement", and anchor in a greater level of personal growth and individual acknowledgment.

The Reality: We all coach – some are better at it than others.

The problem is that a lot of people are given the wrong information at the wrong time, in the wrong format, with no commitment or measure of what will change, and when predicting failure. The quality of the coaching and mentoring at an early stage for a new hire or just before or after a promotion will determine how successful that person will be for a very long time. Do not scrimp on this process.

The purpose of this activity is to enable the learner to coach good employees into becoming great employees with high standards and results achieved by embracing a new standard of what they can and will do, and by being continually challenged to develop their leadership skills. This is how to turn good employees into great employees through high achievement created through high expectations, trust, and being challenged to grow your potential through insight and encouragement.

A coach focuses on each team member to identify, develop, and grow their present and potential strengths. When done properly, individual productivity can go up by 40%, a significant return on the coaching/mentoring process. The core to this session is understanding the role of the coach, and all the steps to coach.  be it for attitude or skill.
