Developing your Direct Reports

Developing Your Direct Reports is a course where participants will learn "development coaching." Performance management is focused on eliminating the weaknesses of the past and present, while development coaching targets employee strengths as the basis for future performance and the achievement of long-term goals. It also requires the direct and regular involvement of the manager. Course participants will learn the characteristics of effective development goals, how to use assessments to advance goals, and how to improve the employee reflection process.
