Focused Productivity
Suggested Strategy: Direct the focus of your coaching conversation to the employee’s surroundings and the effects of his/her behavior rather than the behavior itself.
Suggested Questions:
Î Risk Question: What risks do you think you might assume when your attention is not on your work or when you pull other employees’ attention away from their own tasks? Î Third-Party Question: How do you think your peers would honestly describe your ability to remain focused and productive throughout the workday?
Suggested Activities:
Î Brainstorming: Make a list together of actions to take when the employee feels distracted or senses the urge to talk to peers instead of focus on the task at hand. Discuss strategies for remaining focused during the workday and specific situations where they can implement those strategies. Î Teach Me: Have the employee walk you through a typical situation where they might be required to remain focused and productive in the workday. What level of efficiency does the employee think they exhibit and where might there be room for improvement?
