As a new manager, you wear many hats; one of which is a coach. You know what success looks like on your team. This vision requires employees to be engaged and productive. Helping each person move towards this vision can be a challenge. One on one coaching conversations is an essential component of employee development. When done effectively and consistently, they will help you connect with your employees, build their confidence and skill-sets, and create unique action plans with all. Each employee has their personalities and strengths. Your job as a leader is to help build upon those strengths and challenge them to continue developing.
