Embrace the Power of Continuous Coaching

In the whirlwind of daily responsibilities—budget, payroll, scheduling, and more—it's easy to let staff engagement fall by the wayside. Yet, one of the most impactful things you can do as a leader is to embody the principle of "coach, coach, and never stop coaching."

One of my favorite leadership books is "The Better People Leader," by Charles Coonradt, he encourages leaders to “hire better than you have”, “cut out the cancer”, and, ABOVE ALL, “coach who you keep”.

Coaching is not a one-time event but a continuous process.?

Here are a few reminders to keep you on track:

• Repetition is Key: You might feel frustrated repeating yourself, but reiterating important information ensures that key initiatives are understood and embraced by your team.
• Consistency Matters: Even on tough days, never skip a coaching opportunity. Ignoring bad behavior once can set a precedent, making it harder to enforce standards later.
• Lead with Belief: Show your team that you believe in their potential. Addressing performance issues directly and positively reinforces a culture of high performance and mutual respect.

Your dedication to coaching is a gift to your team, fostering an environment where every member can thrive and contribute to their fullest potential.

Sincerely (a forever coach),?
