Water-cooler Coaching

“Water Cooler Coaching.'


These are essentially informal chats between manager and employee where no direct instruction is given to the employee on any of the issue which might halt the discussion.


There could be conversation in the form of open-ended questions, such as.
“What would happen if…”
“Why do you think that is…”
“What are the options…”

This might take a while for employee to open up, but the very fact that as a manager, if you are doing, it is a sufficient proof that your subordinate is “capable" enough.

As a manager if you are able to point that out to them, may be that’s all is needed to give them the boost required to 'push' them more to perform more.
