Stop Wasting Your One-on-One Meetings with Needless Project Updates - 1 views

  •  
    Save more general updates for emails and group stand-ups. Instead, use that one-on-one time to bring up key topics like how you want your career to grow, skills or opportunities you're interested in developing, and roadblocks you're struggling with. Of course, not everyone has a great manager that is willing to talk about these things, but it is worthwhile to bring these topics up to make sure you're successful.

Coaching is About More Than Asking Questions ‹ http://coachfederation.org/blog - 2 views

  •  
    Coaching isn't about asking versus telling. It's about creating a new awareness, which includes the reflective practices of sharing observations and sensations, motivational acts of encouraging and challenging, and ways of holding the space in the moment so the person can fully experience their self even when it feels uncomfortable. Coaches do all of these things as well as questioning.

    The Golden Rule-treat others as you want to be treated-has a fatal flaw: it assumes that all people want to be treated the same way. It ignores that people are motivated by vastly different things... The Platinum Rule-treat others as they want to be treated-corrects that flaw.

Are You the Best Leader Your Team Has Ever Had? - 2 views

  •  
    At first, her role as a leader felt overwhelming, and she was tempted to "pull up" from her failing team. However, she continued to address their challenges, needs, and issues head on even though it drained her and took a lot of time. Soon, however, she was able to make decisions that were for the best of her people and the organization alike. She was able to build trust with her team, who soon saw her competence (an underrated aspect of high trust workplaces) and felt her authentic care. The pile of challenges started getting smaller and smaller. She was able to start moving her team with a speed they hadn't experienced before. This leader now has one of the highest trust teams in the organization and is seen by many as their "best leader ever."

    But today, tighter budgets, flatter organizations, a heavy workload, and too many direct reports often leave managers without the time - and sometimes without the skills - to shoulder the responsibility of being coach and mentor. And yet, this function remains critical to the long-term health and productivity of the organization.

    Knowing how to effectively give positive feedback is a powerful tool to develop employee skills and talent. Yet leaders on the front lines, middle management, and upper tiers of organizations often overlook positive feedback and reinforcement, or are unsure or uncomfortable giving it.

Coaching is Organic ‹ http://coachfederation.org/blog - 0 views

  •  
    I believe coaches are, arguably, the most powerful people in the world because they reverse the assumptions that bind our potential and humanity, and download a new operating system, a new set of assumptions, that gets people to say yes to who they are and what they can do, letting their natural brilliance emerge.

Acknowledgment: A Powerful Tool to Grow Individuals and Teams ‹ http://coachf... - 1 views

  •  
    People who are masterful at acknowledgment listen carefully to what is important to others and then look for ways to acknowledge the other person when she has done things or made choices that support those values or goals.  An example of acknowledgment is: "I want to acknowledge the courage it took for you to volunteer to be the spokesperson.  I know that public speaking is a personal skill that you want to improve."

    I believe most relationships are easily fixed if we have the courage to stop defending our own egos. Anybody can damage a relationship. But it takes courage to fix one-the courage to reach out beyond ourselves to the people we've hurt.

Solution-focused Coaching ‹ http://coachfederation.org/blog - 1 views

    "Leaders can provide visible evidence of enabling and supporting their employees by conducting continuous Appreciative Coaching conversations showing how the strengths of the person are aligned to the results of the organization. People then understand how they fit into the organization's vision and mission, but create a powerful energy for excellence."

Refections on coaching (from Andy Carlino) - Jamie Flinchbaugh - 1 views

  •  
    Coaching isn't advocating a point. Coaching isn't teaching existing knowledge. Coaching isn't giving what I call "drive by feedback". The standard for coaching is much higher than that. We should be less casual about its use, and hold it in much higher regard.
