Once in a while a leader/manager must
harness his coaching skills most especially when he observes that a subordinate
is performing below of what is expected of him.
For example, a car salesman’s output that is always on the rise suddenly
drops to an alarming level. A production
worker who previously exceeds his work output is unexpectedly not anymore able
to meet his production targets.
The coaching skill of a leader/manager
is very useful during this kind of situation. To do this the Leader/Manager should talk to the person concerned so that he could discover the problem and eventually find a solution. After
discovering what bothers the concerned person he must once again motivate the
concerned person.
Therefore the leader/manager must know
how to empathize and listen to his subordinate. After empathizing and listening it is incumbent
upon the leader to inject life and motivation to the subject subordinate and
this is done thru effective coaching.
Because it requires personal
interaction coaching is ideally done on a one-on-one basis. This is to
facilitate effective transfer of ideas, motivation and inspirations. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
