Three principles are essential to excellence in performance:
Top performers exhibited interest, aptitude, and dedication in performing with excellence.
They made a commitment to improve their skill or ability toward becoming top performers.
Those individuals benefited from working with a coach or mentor.
A coach did not do the work for them. Rather, the coach got to know the performer. His or her desired outcomes were identified. The coach observed the present performance and evaluated it. Requests were made of the performer to make changes toward improving the level of performance. In that process, undeveloped potential was assessed. Over time, the coach patiently suggested a path to follow and suggested steps toward performance at an increasingly higher level of excellence.
Could you, or your staff members benefit from such coaching?
Could astute coaching enhance your, or their, leadership skills?
How useful might it be for your key employees to explore facets of interpersonal and group communication to acquire knowledge of when, where, and how difficult issues can be resolved in challenging contexts? After assessing a troubling behavior of a colleague, what value would there be to your key leaders to have a coach who requests of them a half-page written strategy at the next session for improving that difficult relationship? A valued coach holds those being mentored accountable for their agreed upon assignments to facilitate steps toward problem-solving or improved performance.
