Coaching staff is a key management responsibility. Coaching may be structured or opportunistic. Coaching staff requires special skills that pay dividends in performance, morale and personal effectiveness.

Overview
The definition of ‘management’ is ‘achieving results through resources.’ Staff are the most common and valuable resources available to managers/team leaders. A manager’s/team leader’s success is therefore limited by the skills, knowledge and productivity of his/her staff.

Coaching is imparting skills and knowledge. With effective coaching, the skills, knowledge and productivity of staff increases. Their ability to handle situations increases. This means their productivity increases. This increases the availability of time for the manager/team leader and other senior members of staff. The effectiveness of all team members increases. This allows the manager/team leader to focus on priority objectives. The career of the manager/team leader is therefore improved. Creating the next ‘generation’ of team leaders and managers is a common requirement and measurement method of managers/team leaders. Coaching Staff is a key element in this requirement.

This practical and intensive course gives participants the key skills and understanding they need to develop staff in a planned manner or ad-hoc situations.
