Coaching for high performance has a 360° focus. Before the performance cycle begins, a great coach sets clear expectations. In the execution phase, it’s about being present—providing direction, making adjustments and spurring the team on. Afterwards, it’s about reflection, offering feedback that propels growth. That’s the full circle—the 360° approach to performance coaching.
Great leaders coach their team to success before, during and after each performance cycle.
Consider your coaching style. Are you providing 360º support before, during and after your team’s performance cycle? Which of these three phases do you excel at—and which one could use a stronger focus to bring your team’s performance full circle?
