When we teach our coaching leader course, we help leaders be on the lookout for openings for coaching. Those are the moments where the coaching leader sees an opportunity for a “coaching moment.” As you develop your coach’s eye, you will start seeing openings for coaching everywhere you look! The most common openings for coaching are:
- Performance shortfall
- Breakdown of some kind
- Attitude or behavior not in alignment with stated values of the team
- Someone not performing up to their potential
Experienced coaching leaders have a knack for picking their time and knowing when to take the opening to coach and assist people to reach the next level of success.
