Great leaders and managers empower their teams to be proactive and motivate them to follow-through. \u00a0This requires that leaders have excellent communication skills.\u00a0 Given our increasingly remote working world, excellent communications skills are even more important.\u00a0 In the previous blog we talked about clear, precise communication and word choice.\u00a0 Continue to enhance management skills with these additional lessons from coaching certification<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Rule of Silence<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More often than not, when someone makes a statement or question people feel pressured \u00a0to respond so if one person is thinking, the other often jumps in to fill the gap.\u00a0 This interrupts their thinking and prevents them from responding. \u00a0A certified coach will teach you that the power of silence can go a long way in improving relationships and opening up communication. \u00a0Silence gives people the opportunity to think thoroughly about their comments or responses. \u00a0In fact, \u201ccoaching training teaches that silence after a question is respecting each person in the conversation<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

    For remote teams, having a 15 to 30 second policy of silence before responding to any question will help team members gather their thoughts and put together a valuable and insightful answer. This can help teams reach better, more viable solutions and it can help stave off any confrontations or frustrations.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Power of a Forward Focus<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Great coaching teaches individuals to create and encourage positive forward focus. \u00a0In order to successfully manage a team of remote workers, you want to understand their goals, motivations, wants, and interests. \u00a0This will empower you to effectively connect your employees\u2019 personal and career goals with the project at hand or their overall responsibilities.<\/p>\n

      Consider: How will being a part of your team or project help remote employees get to where they want to be?<\/p>\n

      Encouraging forward focus among members of a remote team can be effectively done through the right choice of words, clear and precise communication, and good questioning. Follow the lead of a certified coach who typically encourages clients to think in terms of \u201cwant to\u201d or \u201cchoose to\u201d and use this type of wording with your team.<\/p>\n

      Ask questions to create a positive, forward focus. \u00a0For example: What do you want to do? \u00a0What does success look like to you? \u00a0What steps will you to take to be where you want to be? \u00a0What results do you expect? \u00a0What will you think or feel once you reach a milestone?<\/p>\n

      Whether working with your own coach who models these skills or attending coach training<\/a>, the lessons from coaching applied when managing remote workers are an amazing tool for getting the desired results.<\/p>\n
