Interpersonal relationships
Coach - a peer or manager who works with
employees to motivate them, help them
develop skills, and provide reinforcement and
feedback.
The best coaches are empathetic, supportive,
practical, and self-confident but do not appear to
know all the answers or want to tell others what to
do.

Approaches to Employee
Development (cont.)
Interpersonal relationships
Three roles that a coach can play:
One-on-one with an employee, providing feedback
based on psychological tests, 360-degree
assessment, or interviews with bosses, peers, and
subordinates.
Help employees learn for themselves by putting
them in touch with experts who can help them with
their concerns and by teaching them how to obtain
feedback from others.
Provide the employee with resources such as
mentors, courses, or job experiences that the
employee may not otherwise have access to.
