Coaching to Develop Employee Performance1. How to transform managers into coaches The transformation from manager to coach takes effort and a few easy steps. It is important for managers to remember that one size does not fit all. Each employee is different, and employees work differently. The better the manager understands the employee, the more effective the coaching and the results will be. How do you transform managers into coaches? Building and changing the corporate culture begins with the leader’s adoption of a system, definition of the system, and modeling of the system. Top leaders coach managers to be the kind of leaders the organization wants. Two of the competencies of a coach include: • An ability to identify people who fit the job • An ability to create strategies for employee development that inspire people to perform and achieve These competencies set the foundation for development, but even the most capable manager requires help in these areas. No manager is equipped with essential knowledge about every employee. Successful coaching requires specialized knowledge about: • Each employee’s unique characteristics • Each employee’s attributes in the context of his job and work environment • Each employee’s fit with his job, manager, and teamswww.profilesinternational.com Coaching to Develop Employee Performance | 4© 2011 Profiles International, Inc.

Coaching to Develop Employee Performance2. Implementing coaching-based performance management Coaching-based performance management is essential for maximum productivity. First, acknowledge that good performance rarely happens by accident. Many employers find it unnecessary to worry about job training or good job fit as long as they find an employee with a good job history. According to a recent survey of more than 1,000 employees, managers, and leaders, 90 percent believe that leaders have little influence over employee behavior. This is not surprising, given that many leaders often view performance training as unnecessary. Profiles has developed a coaching-based performance management methodology that provides key insights about each employee. This step-by-step approach shows how to leverage knowledge to improve employee performance. This approach works because leaders are able to use it continuously and proactively from the beginning of each employee’s career. This process is incomplete unless each of the following factors are in place: • Understanding employee fit and compatibility in their current job • Understanding motivation, stress, and conflict behaviors • Optimizing working relationships with direct supervisors • Optimizing relationships with their work teams • Optimizing their leadership skillswww.profilesinternational.com Coaching to Develop Employee Performance | 5© 2011 Profiles International, Inc.

Profiles assessments measure an employee’s: • Need for control • Social influence • Patience and collaborative preferences“ • Focus on precision and quality Coaching is the • Motivational intensity and focus on change most potent tool for inducing lasting personal ” change.

Coaching to Develop Employee Performance4. The coaching relationship and team dynamics Understanding relationships improves team dynamics. Relationships directly impact productivity — unhealthy relationships clearly undermine performance while colleagues working together in harmony have the best chance of success. Sometimes rocky relationships can create improvements for the organization if potential points of conflict are identified early. Defining conflict points will enable leaders and team members to work together to avoid or solve issues. Clearly defining points of conflict also helps managers determine the best way to effectively communicate with each employee. Coaches and leaders should also carefully consider their own attributes. An assessment provides specific recommendations for managers and employees to effectively communicate with each other. The assessment will: • Examine the working relationship between employee and manager to predict compatibility • Identify similarities and differences in styles, and detect how these similarities and different might result in conflict • Provide specific recommendations for managers and employees to achieve maximum productivity in the workplacewww.profilesinternational.com Coaching to Develop Employee Performance | 7© 2011 Profiles International, Inc.

Coaching to Develop Employee Performance5. Coaching to develop Developing employees generates leadership. The final step in coaching-based performance management determines leadership capabilities. Specific leadership competencies and skills are examined in order to identify leadership potential. The assessments will calculate personal development, communication, leadership ability, adaptability, relationship building, task management, production, and the development of others. Motivating employees to perform to their maximum potential is the responsibility of an organization’s leaders. Once a manager discovers the value of coaching early and often (as opposed to conducting annual reviews), he will be able to increase the efficiency and productivity of his employees. The most effective approach requires: • Coaching tailored to the individual with a goal of increasing productivity • Coaching based on insight about the employee’s competencies within the context of his job, as well as his ability to work with his team and managerwww.profilesinternational.com Coaching to Develop Employee Performance | 8© 2011 Profiles International, Inc.
