86% of employees say career and skill development and coaching are important to them, but only 54% are getting the development or coaching they crave. As a leader in a thriving organization, you understand the true value of investing in your people. By helping your team members improve their skills, matching their strengths with their jobs, and making sure they perform at their best, you can take your organization to new levels of success. That’s why the Predictive Index® (PI) coaching guide is a valuable resource for you as a leader. 

 

Understanding the PI Coaching Guide

The PI coaching guide is more than just a regular tool – it’s a game-changer for leaders like you who care about their team’s growth and progress. With this guide, you can use data from behavioral assessments to compare how your employees’ behaviors match up with the job requirements. It helps you understand their strengths, find areas where they can improve, and put them in roles that suit their natural abilities. This guide is a powerful resource that lets you personalize your coaching and development style, making sure each team member gets the right support and guidance to succeed.

 

Developing Performance Excellence

Imagine having a team where everyone is always performing at their best and going above and beyond what’s expected. The PI coaching guide can help make this happen by identifying high-performance areas and addressing any performance gaps. Discover the specific strengths that lead to outstanding performance and encourage your team to build on those abilities. The guide gives you a clear plan for having important talks that motivate and inspire your employees to achieve even more.

 

Nurturing Growth and Overcoming Challenges

Even the most talented people can have difficulties or struggle in certain areas of their work. The PI coaching guide gives you the tools to help your team members during those times. It helps you figure out whether performance gaps are due to a misalignment between an employee’s natural abilities and the job requirements. Once you know that, you can give your team members training or coaching that focuses on their specific needs. You might even change their role so they can use their strengths better. By facing these challenges directly, you create a supportive environment where your employees feel encouraged and empowered to overcome obstacles and do their best.

The Predictive Index coaching guide provides you with the tools and insights you need to unlock the full potential of your employees by comparing their natural strengths to the behaviors needed in your position.

 

How to Use the PI Coaching Guide

Implementing the PI coaching guide as a part of your development strategy has a big effect on your organization.

  • To start with, set a Job Target – identifying the behavior needed for high performance in the role. This will serve as the basis for identifying behavioral strengths and gaps between your employee and what’s expected in their role.
  • Second, select an employee who is at least 90 days into their role who you want to coach and help leverage their strengths. Generate the Coaching Guide in the PI Software.
  • Read through the questions on the guide and pick one area you want to focus on, then meet with your employee.
  • Set the tone of your conversation – share that your intention is to focus on strengths and help the employee get even better!
  • Ask the question(s) you chose from the guide and then LISTEN, letting your employee create solutions, then deciding on the next steps together.

When you have important conversations about personal growth and matching strengths to roles, you create a culture where people are always getting better. This kind of culture doesn’t just make employees happier, but it also leads to more creativity, productivity, and success in the long run.
