Coaching has emerged as a highly effective tool for assisting individuals integrate and implement learning, resulting in more effective and productive workers and teams. The ability to coach others is a core competency to develop personnel. Through coaching, supervisors learn how to optimize the value of human capital. Change is essential for Municipal Government to be in line and adapt to today’s rapidly shifting marketplace. People and government are naturally resistant to change. Coaching can facilitate productive change in persons, teams, and systems by enabling supervisors to gain cooperation and uncover potential that might otherwise go untapped.
Upon the completion of this course students will be able to identify the core belief values of coaching, understand the differences between coaching, managing, and mentoring; how to coach for peak employee performance and how to give constructive feedback to the employee; and how to use the tools of coaching to achieve change in the municipality.
