01
What it is
Support for managers to run a short coaching loop with one staff member, using the Identify, Learn, Improve cycle from our Staff Growth Cycle manual.
Manager coaching · Quoted
Coaching for managers: help one person get better at the job they have.
Two conversations, with a stretch of practice in between. We help managers turn a vague ‘have a chat’ into one clear goal, one strategy and a result they can check.
02
Who it’s for
Managers, team leaders and owners who want to help someone improve at work without starting a formal process.
03
What we do
Help the manager agree one goal with a number and a date, plan the strategy as steps, show how it’s done, then review the result.
04
What you get
A coaching loop run properly, filled-in worksheets as the record, and a tracker showing who in the team is mid-cycle.
How the loop works
01 · Identify
Look at what is really happening, using facts such as times, errors or complaints. Agree one goal with a number and a date.
02 · Learn
Turn the strategy into a short checklist, then show how it’s done so they see it done well before they try it.
03 · Improve
They use the checklist in their real work, with a quick check-in partway through.
04 · Review
Compare the result with the goal, then decide: keep adjusting, make it the normal way of working, or try something different.
What’s in the work
- Choosing one person and one goal, and finishing one loop before starting another
- A bank of questions, so managers ask rather than tell
- The worksheets set up for your team
- A team tracker, so you can see who is part-way through a cycle
What you walk away with
- One clear goal with a number and a date, instead of “be more proactive”
- A written strategy, step by step
- Filled-in worksheets as the record of what was agreed
What sets the price
Coaching support is quoted once we know what you need, and the written quote is the fee. If you’d rather start on your own, The Staff Growth Cycle ($79) is the full manual with nine worksheets.
Common questions
Is this for formal performance problems?
No. Coaching is for helping someone get better at the job they already have. If things are heading towards a warning or dismissal, use your disciplinary process and get advice.
How long does one loop take?
A full loop usually takes two to four weeks: agree one goal, show how it’s done, practise, then check the result.
