The Metrics
About The Metrics
- What’s My Communication Style: This session incorporates a fun and effective questionnaire. Understanding your communication style is an important first step in learning how to communicate effectively with others. This questionnaire will give you a new insight into how you communicate everyday.
- Coaching Skills Inventory: Managers and supervisors frequently engage in coaching discussions with their employees. Coaching may be defined as a problem solving discussion directed toward improving some aspect of an employee’s work performance. This metric is designed to assess the ability of a manager or supervisor to recognise when and how to use the skills necessary for conducting effective coaching meetings. From this metric the course leader will then introduce a six-step profile to assist a manager to strengthen this critical supervisory skill.
