Set clear goals and expectations from "summary" of The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier
When it comes to effectively coaching others, it's essential to start by setting clear goals and expectations. This is the foundation upon which successful coaching conversations are built. Without clear goals and expectations, both the coach and the coachee may end up feeling lost and directionless, leading to unproductive discussions and potentially unsatisfactory outcomes. Setting clear goals helps to provide focus and direction for the coaching conversation. It allows both parties to understand what they are working towards and what success looks like. By clearly defining the goals at the outset, the coach can better guide the conversation and keep it on track, ensuring that it remains productive and relevant. In addition to setting clear goals, it's also important to establish clear expectations for the coaching relationship. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, outlining communication preferences, and establishing boundaries. When both the coach and the coachee have a shared understanding of what is expected of them, it creates a more harmonious and effective coaching dynamic. By setting clear goals and expectations, the coach can help to create a sense of accountability and ownership for the coachee. When goals are clearly defined and expectations are understood, it becomes easier for the coachee to take ownership of their development and progress. This sense of accountability can be a powerful motivator, driving the coachee to take action and make positive changes.- Setting clear goals and expectations is about creating a roadmap for the coaching journey. It provides a clear direction for the conversation, establishes a framework for the coaching relationship, and fosters a sense of accountability and ownership. By starting with clear goals and expectations, coaches can set the stage for successful coaching conversations that lead to meaningful growth and development.
