Ownership of Responsibilities
Suggested Strategy: Your goal as a coach is to help the person you are coaching understand what is expected of them and the specific steps that they must take to reach those expectations on a daily basis. Their awareness is likely lacking in what it means to take ownership of what is expected of them and the potential risks involved in not having that awareness.
Suggested Questions:
Î Teach Me & The Sword: So that I don’t make any assumptions because that would be unfair to you, could you please walk me through the expectations that your job assigns to you as it relates to your responsibilities? Î Define & Coach: What do you think it specifically means to take ownership of the responsibilities assigned to you? Î Self-Actualized Question: What specific actions do you think you are committed to taking to reach that definition and own the responsibilities that you are expected to execute?
Suggested Activities:
Î GOAL-Based Coaching: What does this person aspire to become great at in their position? What opportunities might become available to them as a result of becoming great? What actions must the employee take to bring those opportunities within reach? What will they love about reaching their goals? How will taking ownership of the responsibilities and expectations assigned to them help position them well to reach their goals?
