Manager Tools defines coaching as a systemic effort to improve the performance of a direct in a specific skill area. It's neither episodic nor inherently negative. Our Coaching Model is a way for you to supervise the self-improvement process of one of your directs, over a series of months. Our Coaching Model has four simple steps: Step 1: Collaborate to Set a Goal Step 2: Collaborate to Brainstorm Resources Step 3: Collaborate to Create a Plan Step 4: The Direct Acts and Reports on the Plan
