Motivation
What about Vroom’s ‘expectancy’ theory?
Expectancy x Valence = Force of motivation
E x V = FWhere
E is the strength of the expectation that behaving in a certain way will result in a given outcome
V is the value that the individual places on the outcome (positive or negative) and can be virtually anything
F is the strength of the individual’s motivation to behave in the given way

“The hardest thing about delegating is…?”
“DOING IT!”

Why delegate?What’s in it for you?What’s in it for the organisation?What’s in it for your teams?
26

WHY is it so difficult to delegate?
It’s about power…
27
27
When to Delegate
When you:• Have insufficient time to
complete key tasks effectively• Want to develop skills &
competencies of individual• Want to empower individual• Want to retain talent• When they might do a better
job than you
28
28
What to Delegate
• Things that you do not need to do yourself
• Things you like doing and so hold onto but could be done by someone else
• Things that could be done better by someone else, eg specialist
• DON’T delegate high risk or high leverage tasks
29
29
To Whom to Delegate (360)
• Those with the skill• Those with the authority/role• Those with the potential• Those in need of development• Those you want to retain• Those who owe you a favour

Coaching and Developing Talent
32
32
Objectives To reinforce the role that
coaching plays in enhancing performance and to make the business case
To understand the coaching process and develop a commitment to coaching direct reports, peers and others
To build the coaching skills of contracting, listening, questioning, probing, challenging, actioning
33
Exercise 1
33
Think of a real work challenge you are facing at the moment (it can be the same as your PI if you want, but preferably different)
It could be a leadership issue or a technical/management problem
Describe it in a short sentence beginning with "How do I…?"
Write a few notes describing the circumstances, people involved, history, etc
Disguise names if necessary
34
34
Form yourselves into groups of 3
One person takes the role of coach, the other of coachee, the other of observer
The first coachee describes their leadership challenge
The coach coaches them
5 minutes each
Exercise 1

What went well?
What didn't go so well?
What do you need to do differently?
Exercise 1

What is coaching?
• Unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them
Whitmore 2002
37
37
Why should you learn to coach rather than teach?
Because when people learn for themselves the learning goes deep
Because the ideas you help them discover may be better than yours
Because they’ll be more committed as they’re more involved
Because it means you’re spending time together
38
38
The coaching process
Much coaching involves activities that effective managers are doing anyway:
Delegating work Reviewing progress Discussing difficulties Helping staff resolve problems
39
39
Coaching skills
5 broad clusters:
• relationship building skills
• listening and questioning skills
• reflecting skills
• feedback skills
• actioning skills
40
40
The steps of active listening
Be quiet
• Listen and don’t interrupt
• Don’t finish off other people’s sentences
• Maintain consistent body language
Check that you have understood
Ask questions Rephrase and playback Summarise Show you have understood what has
been said
Reflect back
The feelings behind the words Show you understand the feeling behind the words
41
41
Types of questions
Open Closed Specific Rhetorical Hypothetical Reflective Multiple Hidden advice
42
42
‘Advise-in-disguise’ questions
Spot the difference:
“Would it be a good idea to consult your colleagues about this?”
“Who else could you consult about this?”
43
43
Avoid critical questions
“Why are you behind schedule?””What’s the problem on this project?”“Why are you so far behind the other team?”“What’s your problem?”“Who isn’t keeping up?”“Who did that?”“Why did you do that?”“Who made that decision?”“Don’t you know better than that?”
44
44
Ask stretching questions
Which way is the ball spinning as it comes towards you?How high is it this time as it crosses the net?Does it spin faster or slower as it bounces this time?How far is it from your opponent when you first see which way it is spinning.
45
45
Ask stretching questions
“How do you feel about the project so far?”
“What have you accomplished so far that you are most pleased with?”
“What about that accomplishment do you most appreciate?”
“What else?”How would you describe the way you want this project to turn out?”
46
46
Effects of questions
Compels the person to focus Requires descriptive not judgemental
answers Provides feedback loop for the coach
47
47
Reflecting skills
paraphrasing
clarifying
interpreting
summarising
48
Exercise 2, try again - questioning, listening, reflecting
48
Same groups of 3
Same leadership issues
Again one person takes the role of coach, another is the coachee, and the third is the observer
The coach coaches the coachee (10 mins) and the observer provides feedback using the Observation Form (5 mins)
Rotate twice more
49
Exercise
49
This time, observers can look for specific improvements:
Relationship building
Active listening
Questioning skills
Reflecting
Exercise 2, try again - questioning, listening, reflecting

• Impact "This is the impact of that behaviour on you/others/the organisation"
Giving Feedback

Actioning skills
GOALS What do you want?
REALITY What is happening now?
OPTIONS What could you do?
WILL What will you do?
The GROW model: Whitmore
52
GOAL What is the issue on which you want to work? What outcome do you want from this coaching
session? How far do you expect to get in this session? What is your long-term goal for this issue? What is your long-term goal time-frame? What steps to your goal can you identify? What are the time-frames for those steps?
The ‘GROW’ Model
53
REALITY What is the present situation? What and how great is your concern about it? Who other than you is affected by this issue? Who knows about your desire to do something about it? How much control do you personally have over the outcome? Who else has some control over it and how much? What action steps have you taken on this issue so far What stopped you from doing more? What obstacles will you need to overcome on the way? What, if any, internal obstacles or personal resistances do you have
to taking action? What resources do you already have? Skill, time, enthusiasm, budget, support etc? What other resources will you need? Where will you get them from? What is really the issue here? What is the bottom line?
The ‘GROW’ Model
54
OPTIONS What are all the different ways in which you could
approach this issue? Make a list of the alternatives, large or small, complete
and partial solutions. What else could you do? What would you do if you had more time, a larger
budget or if you were the boss? What would you do if you could start again with a
clean sheet, with a new team? Would you like to add a suggestion from me? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each
of these in turn? Which would give the best result? Which of these solutions appeals to you most, or feels
best to you? Which would give you the most satisfaction?
The ‘GROW’ Model
55
WILL Which option or options do you choose? To what extent does this meet your objectives? What are your criteria and measurements for success? When exactly are you going to start and finish each action step? What could arise to hinder you in taking these steps or meeting
the goal? What personal resistance, if any, do you have to taking these
steps? What will you do to eliminate these external and internal
factors? Who needs to know about your plans? What support do you need and from whom? What will you do to obtain that support and when? What could I do to support you? What commitment (on a 1 – 10 scale) do you have to taking
these agreed actions? What prevents this from being a 10? What could you do to alter or raise your commitment to 10? Is there anything else you want to talk about now, or have we
covered everything?
The ‘GROW’ Model
56
Exercise…Round 3…..This time making sure you give feedback and agree actions
56
Same groups of 3
Same leadership issues
Again one person takes the role of coach, another the coachee, and the third is observer
The coach coaches the coachee (10 mins) and the observer provides feedback (5 mins)
Rotate twice more
