Promotion Protocol: Coaching Conversations Companion Guide

What if we created a win-win situation in your next promotion or job interview? Take this self-assessment inventory before you apply for the next promotion. If you are the employee and are reading this to improve your chances of getting promoted, begin by completing the self-assessment. In the first column, rate yourself in each category from 1 to 10; 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. Do not skip any of the twenty-six categories. Save the second column for your weekly coaching meetings. If you are the supervisor, schedule weekly coaching meetings. Read through the questions before you meet with the employee, so you have a sense of where you want to take the conversation. Feel free to enhance the questions based on your company’s culture and environment. This approach will help you mentor a new generation of aspiring leaders. Know that by using this approach you are leaving a legacy for our high-potentials to step into their future.
