The Library Leader's Guide to Employee Coaching: Building a Performance Culture One Meeting at a Time, (Paperback)

<p><b>Can library leaders improve their employees' work performance using structured coaching meetings, instead of discipline? Yes. This book tells you how. <br></b><br> Trained, empowered, and employee-focused coaches can provide a prescription for change in their libraries - using their experience, guidance, mentoring, and support - to address a complex organizational problem: how to get the very best from the gathered employees (at all levels) for that work day. </p><p> Employees can be both taught and led, using coaching interventions that serve to redirect misguided, unproductive, time-wasting, or even unethical or inappropriate behaviors. Using real-life examples from libraries, government, and the private sector, The Library Leader's Guide to Employee Coaching teaches its readers to work for organizational and employee change by starting with rapport-building conversations; relating relevant stories; using Performance Improvement Plans and/or Behavior Improvement Plans; discussing consequences as needed; and providing no small amounts of hope, praise, and patience.</p>
