Here are a couple more things: - holding people accountable to their own goals - like getting a certification or learning about a particular, new topic. This benefits the company by having more highly trained people, and the individual benefits from higher success rates or more depth of learning accomplished. - setting expectations for promotions. Often, it’s a squishy guessing game about when a promo will come, but if you’re able, you can set the bar and hold the person to that to set them up for success. - one tangible example of coaching is just noticing bad behaviors — like, being late to meetings, lazy code, missing deadlines… and letting the person know you’ve noticed it, understand what’s going on, and hold them accountable to stopping the bad behavior.
