What do coaching people and driving a car have in common? In order to be successful at both, you have to focus on looking ahead and anticipate the unexpected, with an occasional glance at what is behind you. Drivers (and coaches) that spend all their time looking at what is behind them, ignoring the forward view out of the windshield, are a hazard to themselves and to other drivers on the road. Managers that rely on the performance review to coach their people are “driving” their business with a focus on what is behind them. These managers/coaches are a hazard to those they manage and to others in your organization.

On Tuesday, February 22, 2011, at 8:15 am CST, and again at 9:15 pm CST, I will present a 30 minute webinar, The Powerful Act of Coaching Employees. I am certainly not going to turn you into a great coach in 30 minutes, but I will show you how to focus on coaching your people by looking ahead rather than on what is behind you.
