+Coaching: 4 Step Model
Is Coaching the right choice?
✍Is this situation ‘coach worthy’, worth my time and effort?
✍Will the individual be better able to meet work goals? Will work goals meet, or exceed, organization’s needs?
✍Are you clear what the ‘performance problem’ is? Caution: are you sure it’s not your own bias, narrow viewpoint, or discomfort with different work styles?
✍Is the relationship solid enough to begin coaching?
+Coaching: 4 Step Model
1. Prepare
Pay attention to performance gaps, skill deficiencies. Take notes, specify actions to be improved. Focus on observed behaviors – not personal attitudes or motivations.
Jot down impressions and possible causes. Sit in their shoes: What other explanations could explain what you see?
Is the behavior likely to be improved? How often is it exhibited? Is it the same situation or happens across the board?
Is the relationship strong enough to begin coaching?
Ask the employee to prepare for the meeting by: jotting down work goals, identifying any challenges/barriers or ‘wish list’ of new tasks.

2. Meet
Discuss what you observed. Focus is on observed behaviors – not personal attitudes or motivations.
Explain why the behavior is a problem. Connect the behavior to impact on work goals or team functioning.
Probe for information. Ask open-ended questions to give you insight/details about causes.
Obtain agreement on the performance or skills gap = the goal of coaching.
Be collaborative, use conversation to clarify observations, probe for their views, identify performance gaps. You’ve created an effective context to ‘coach’.

3. Coach
Clarify purpose, goal and benefit of coaching – close performance gap through collaborative effort of coaching.
Create action plan with: current status, goals, timeline, actions needed, outcomes, coach’s role. Solicit agreement between both people.
When coaching, decide if you’re going to show (supportive) or tell (directive)
Set date for follow-up/evaluation.
