A good coach helps employees envision what is possible in terms of their growth and development. This is the first step in building new skills and capabilities. Suspend your expertise. It is human nature to be reluctant to offer suggestions to someone who has positioned himself as the expert. Your employees will be more inclined to tackle the tough problems if they aren t led to believe that you have all the answers.
Life is too short to do otherwise.
Laughter is good medicine, and it frees up creative energy. Have fun, and help your employees have fun, too. Focus on developing people, not the scoreboard. Expect amazing things from your employees. Positive expectancies breed positive results.
