The Coach and the Essentials of Coaching (2)
As a coach, it is imperative that you hold yourself personally accountable for the productivity of the employees that you work with. Many managers may find that the team that they head of to be lacking in performance and productivity. While there is no such thing as a "bad" employee, there is such a thing as bad management techniques. One of the worst management techniques is when a manager fails to respond to the employees as a coach. Not only does this cause complication with the performance of the employees, but the fault lies with the manager, not the employees.
It is important for the manager, or coach, to provide their employees with the tools and resources that are necessary to perform their job responsibilities. The leader should also show a high level of support to the employees. They should not act as one that requires the employees to follow, or act as one that follows the employees – they should stand beside the employee and provide a high level of support and encouragement. Once they have provided the training and tools that the employee requires, they should allow the individual to perform their work.
The world has come to know many professional coaches in the sports industry. These individuals have worked with the team that they are in charge of, and ensured that each member of that team has been conditioned and developed. On game day, the coach can be found on the sidelines. These individuals do not jump out on the field and play the game – they allow their team members to play the game.
