Content: So, how do you train your managers to train their direct reports? Provide them with opportunities to learn through workshops and online courses. These training efforts should help managers understand that their own goals are not their only priority anymore. That they need to be focused on the goal achievement and development of their reports, too. Another great training method is to assign managers a coach of their own. If they’ve had the coaching experience from the perspective of the coachee, then they’ll be better placed to understand what their reports want and need from them, too. Even better, ask managers to keep a journal in which they reflect on their experience of coaching and the behaviors they would like to mimic when they coach their reports. Encourage managers to practice, reflect, learn and repeat
Wondering how to train managers in soft and intangible skills like empathy and listening? Encourage them to adopt a cycle of practicing, reflecting, learning and repeating. Give them the time, freedom and confidence to put their new leadership and coaching skills to use in real-time situations.
