Creating A Culture for Performance Coaching: Group Exercises For Your Team

Many organizations today are moving towards a culture that promotes effective Coaching Skills. Creating a culture within your organization requires more than just asking managers and employees to communicate with each other in a particular given way.

CMOE with over 27 years of experience and research in performance coaching has identified four application areas for you to consider when creating a culture inside your organization: The first application area in creating a culture involves learning and skill building. This specific area might include some of the following:

Teach Coaching Skills To All Employees/Refresher Courses

Consider the coaching knowledge and skill levels of your employees. Leaders should be trained in CMOE's Coaching Skills Model, but CMOE clients have found additional value in extending the same training to many of their employees. When both parties understand the process, approach, and language of coaching, they can more effectively interact and synergize within the organization. Coaching should be a 360º process: Leaders to employees, employee to employee, and upward coaching.

"Lunch-n-Learn"

As a leader you might choose to sponsor a lunch-time discussion to share a coaching, principle, or other learning, and then elicit comments and discussion from the group. This is something that should be kept simple. Focus on one or two skills or topics at a time, and allow for free and open input and communication.

Telecoaching

One on one telephone or executive coaching for your leaders is something to offer those who really want to develop their skills to the next level. The process might include evaluation of strengths and weaknesses, personal action planning, ongoing support, and one-on-one training with one of our certified master coaches. With telecoaching or executive coaching, your leaders will get personal attention and will quickly grow their skills and capability.

Teach Back Opportunities

As a manager of a group of leaders you might ask your people to present, refresh, or summarize a key skill. This is something that can be done at the weekly meeting or on a monthly basis. Managers can also share real case examples and receive suggestions and input from other managers.

Reading and Newsletters
Newsletters are full of tips and advice on how leaders can improve their coaching skills and how these skills can be used to fully develop the potential of a team. This valuable resource reviews fundamental principles of effective coaching and leadership. It shares actionable ideas that can be implemented in daily situations and can be a monthly reminder to continue developing these critical skills.
