What Would You Do?
This week:
- Dear TLW–
Our managers need help with their coaching skills based on talking with employees, as well as feedback on our organizational culture survey. We have designed a course that provides a basic model to follow for coaching…whether it’s coaching to develop others, reinforce behaviors, or redirect behaviors. We have included a component that involves at least two skill practices. We have not done anything like this before. I know our managers…there will be some reluctance in doing the practices. What would you suggest I do to ensure they have a positive and successful experience with this exercise?
Next week:
- Dear TLW–
Our organization is starting to rebound after this shaky economy. We are adding a new member to the learning and development team. He comes from a different organization, however, has a good amount of classroom training experience. We are delighted he’s on the team. My question…our manager has asked “Bob” to co-facilitate the new employee orientation program, as well as the customer service training, with me. I’ve never co-facilitated before. Even though it seems as if it could be fun and interesting for both me and the participants, are there certain guidelines Bob and I should consider as we work together?
