Discussion questions
Discussion questions
- Discussion prompts from our masterclass: https://cnpy.is/lingoda-live-session-4
- Consider who on your team is performing well. What's one practice you'd like to try to better uncover their core motivation(s)?
- What is the most complicated/frustrating part about coaching a top performer?
- Consider how you could "manage up" when it comes to coaching (feel free to discussion the 'cheat sheet' that was shared in the follow up email). What is one step you could take to have better coaching conversations with your manager?
Scenarios
- You have a team member who is motivated by a promotion and/or salary increase. How do you coach and tie into their motivation without making promises or guarantees about the future?
- One of your direct reports has always been a top performer, but they seem to have lost confidence over the last year, have had a harder time making decisions, and have been lacking in communication with you. Before this, you didn’t perceive any hold ups about their communication or delivery, but they are feeling more like an underperformer than a top performer right now. How might you address this situation?
