Peoples Expectations of a Coach

by Byron and , © 2004 Here are more expectations that people expect from their Coach. As you are taking over a Managers position it is critical that you remember the people you are leading are your number 1 priority. So as you learn what the expectations are you can learn the skills you need, or learn how to communicate why some expectations are not possible. We hope you find inspirational words of wisdom in this writing.
Holds the team accountable
A good coach will hold the team accountable for both their actions and their results.

Keeps the team informed
A good coach passes on information quickly. They do not hold back information that affects my job. There is nothing worse than finding out information from another area or person that my coach should have told me.

Resilience
The ability to admit mistakes is a quality that is admired by people. Admitting the mistake but moving forward and not brooding over the mistake. The ability to try other ways if one way doesn’t work. The coach will back up and reload.

“One thing is for sure. We have to do something.
We have to do the best we know how at the moment.
If it doesn’t turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

A good coach encourages the same type of resilience in the people they work with. They encourage them to take risks. If the risk results in failure, they help all people to learn from the mistake and then go on to try another way.

“If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.”
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

Allows Initiative
A good coach gives others opportunity to take initiative. The values and boundaries are communicated by the coach, and the coach allows people to try different ideas within those boundaries and values.

Dependability
A good coach follows through on promises. They do what they say they are going to do. They are honest and open. For example, if they don’t know the answer, they will tell you that, but they will also find the answer and get back to you.
