Coaching others to grow
Coaching Others to Grow (Using the GROW Model ) Coaching isn’t solving problems for juniors, it’s helping them solve problems themselves. One effective framework is GROW: · Goal – What do you want to achieve? · Reality – What’s happening now? · Options – What could you do? · Will – What will you do, and by when? Example Junior: “I’m behind on the report.” Manager asks: · Goal: “What’s a good outcome?” → Finish by Friday, no late nights. · Reality: “Where are you?” → 40% done; interrupted by emails. · Options: “How to reduce interruptions?” → Mute notifications, ask for coverage. · Will: “What’s your plan?” → Mute 9–11 AM tomorrow; check in at noon. Why it works – Builds independence, saves time, and respects the learner. Start using GROW in your next one‑on‑one.
