Description

Coaching is a key skill for supervisors who want to involve employees as much as possible in their own performance management.  Coaching gives supervisors the skills to reinforce good performance and address poor performance. Coaching is tough on the problem but not tough on the person and that is why it works.

Coaching Skills for Supervisors will help you build the skills you need to effectively coach others regardless of the circumstance, the time you have available, the employee or the performance. This course will allow you to consider how to apply those skills in construction. Supervision can be challenging and coaching allows you to place the responsibility where the responsibility lies, with the employee.

This 6.5 hour module provides you with a course certificate worth 1 Gold Seal Credit.
