Coaching for Good

This article offers a collection of coaching questions designed to guide managers in developing their teams. The GROW model, standing for Goals, Reality, Options, and Will or Way Forward, provides a structure for these questions. The article suggests that effective coaching should begin by establishing the desired goals. Once the objective is clear, managers can ask questions to understand the current reality of the situation. This might involve prompting the employee to reflect on past approaches or consider the perspectives of others. By exploring various options, managers can help their team members generate creative solutions. Finally, the coaching session should conclude by building commitment to a specific course of action. This may involve identifying resources or establishing milestones to measure progress. The article emphasizes that coaching should be a collaborative effort that empowers employees to take ownership of their development.
