Develop a Thriving Team

Description

Your team’s development is their responsibility, but you are expected to support it, and the line between the two is not always obvious. This course starts there, with what a manager’s role in career development is and how to hold a career conversation. From there it shows you how to learn each person’s strengths, interests and values, and how to run a gap analysis on the skills your team will need. Another lesson compares four ways to teach new material, from presentations to e-learning. The last two lessons cover one-on-one meetings and coaching with the GROW model.

Each lesson has a video and a set of expandable rows with sample questions you can use in your next one-on-one or coaching session. One lesson includes a click-through on the four steps of a gap analysis.

What you’ll be able to do

• Explain where your responsibility for an employee’s career development starts and where theirs begins
• Ask questions in one-on-ones that uncover what a team member is good at and what they want
• Run a four-step gap analysis to decide where to spend your development time and budget
• Choose between presentations, hands-on practice, team-building and e-learning depending on what you need people to learn
• Hold a 30-minute one-on-one that the employee drives and that ends with next steps
• Coach a team member through goal, reality, options and way forward using the GROW model

Who it’s for

Managers who have a team to develop and want to do it on purpose rather than when a review comes around. It suits new and experienced managers alike.
