Assignment 04: Overcoming Coaching Pitfalls
Review the “Coaching Pitfalls” in Chapter 14 (on page 201-202).
· In two to three pages, provide actual examples of how you have observed or directly experienced each pitfall in your workplace.
· For each pitfall and accompanying example, provide a statement indicating how you would avoid or overcome that pitfall.
· You may also present your response using a table format:
| Supervisory Pitfalls | Observation of pitfall in current or former workplace | How I would avoid or overcome this pitfall as a supervisor |
| One Size Fits All – (A cookie-cutter approach to coaching all employees) | ||
| The Know It All – (Believing that s/he is never wrong) | ||
| No Time – (Neglecting the individual coaching process because of a perceived lack of time) | ||
| Stereotyping – (Labeling employees: above average, below average, etc.) | ||
| Inappropriate focus – (Addressing attitude, personality, or character rather than outcomes or behavior) | ||
| Inflexible – (Failing to allow some leeway in how things get done) | ||
| Overusing criticism or undeserved praise | ||
| Offering excessive amounts of unsolicited advice |
