Developing Highly Effective Subordinates through Mentoring and Coaching
Duration: 2 days
 


About The Workshop:

  • This workshop develops participants into executives who see opportunities to develop and mentor their subordinates (instead of cursing and seeking to punish them) every time they come across small, small problems, shortcomings and disappointments in their subordinates during their transactions with their workforce. The workshop trains executives to identify three areas of improvement in their subordinates:

  • attitude and integrity,

  • skill, knowledge and competence, and

  • morale, willingness, initiative and motivational level

  • The beauty of the workshop is the fact that the participants are trained to develop their subordinates in these areas 'on job' instead of allocating a separate time. A separate chunk of time solely for this purpose is almost impossible for an executive to find these days when every body is hard-pressed for time.

  • As per a gallop poll in USA, subordinates felt that 25% of their managers deserve to be fired since they fail to lead them effectively and were of almost no use to them especially as mentors. No wonder it is so because after all how many of us are trained to be so? Mentoring, by the way is the art to guide and nurture the growth of others.

  • If you want your team to be highly developed and motivated you need to develop yourself and be highly motivated yourself. People do not lack motivation or energy. They simply have set impotent goals for themselves. And as a manager one needs to help people see their real potential and inspire  them to exploit it fully.

  • There is no one way to develop subordinates because even though every subordinate may have the similar looking human body but within these similar looking packaging you never get one kind of stuff. You will be a big failure as a carpenter, if you use a hammer, screw driver and driller in the same way.

  • Developing subordinates involves knowing them well, identifying their developmental needs on the basis of the gaps that you find between what you want them to be and what they are. Your expectations then can be fine tuned in the light of the difference between then what they are and what they can be. The next phase is to determine the mental blocks, their doubts, their fears that keep them stuck where they are and keep them from giving their best. The best of techniques can not coach, guide or develop subordinates who do not need the see to do so. Anthony Robbins, the great NLP expert says that it is far more easier to fulfil the challenge of earning a million a month than that of ten thousands. The motivation in the earlier case will see you through.

  • And before one tries to decide one’s course of action to bring about the desired development in subordinates and start implementing one needs to ensure that they hold one in high esteem and love and respect him/her enough. People do not give a damn to those whom they do not consider as an ideal person fit to be their role model.

  • You cannot motivate people. You can only inspire them to motivate themselves. And you cannot inspire people to motivate themselves if you yourself are not what you showcase yourself as. People do not tend to follow the one in whom they find a hypocrite. You may be very knowledgeable and conversant with all the mentoring techniques but people do not care how much you know. They want to know how much you care.
