HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR EMPLOYEES HBR Guide to Coaching Your Employees When you're swamped with your own work, how can you make time to coach your employees—and do it well? It's a common problem. But if you don't help them build their skills, they'll keep coming to you for answers instead of finding their own solutions. That kind of handholding kills productivity and creativity, and you can't sustain it. In the long run, it eats up a lot more time and energy than investing in people's development. So you really must coach to be an effective manager. Got a star on your team who's eager to advance? An underperformer who's dragging the group down? A steady contributor who feels bored and neglected? You'll need to agree on goals for growth, motivate your people to achieve them, support their efforts, and measure their progress. The HBR Guide to Coaching Your Employees gives you the tools to do that. You'll get better at: Matching people's skills with your organization's needs Creating realistic but inspiring plans for growth Customizing your approach Providing the support your employees need to achieve peak performance Giving them feedback they'll actually apply Tapping their learning styles to make greater progress Engaging your employees and fostering independence This guide is yours for only $19.95*.
