A need for more coaching instead of mentoring

After completing this training, I have realized that as Managers, it is very necessary to do more informal and formal coaching. Many times we try to provide mentoring strategies but neglect following all of the necessary steps to establish a formal coaching plan and to do the necessary follow-up. Instead, people are evaluated poorly and then put on an improvement plan. This only creates a bad experience and many employees lose interest and motivation.  Anyone share the same opionion?  

I agree completely.  In the event of a crisis, we generally rely upon our intuitions rather than a plan.  As a result of taking the course, I feel like I can place more confidence in a plan than I can on intuition.

I agree to0 - and when we become aware of the little things we can do to be more effective, we can prevent employees from becoking deflated - and we all work smarter :)

 

I agree. We want to help but we don't want it documented in such a way like they are in trouble.
