Retail Leadership Coaching
Coaching for Retail Leaders
Tip the Balance Where Results Count
Your retail leaders bring a range of skills and experience to the job. Their immediate supervisor can help reinforce and redirect where necessary. But sometimes, groups, teams, and/or individuals need a more focused, outside coach to help hold them accountable and leverage their strengths to achieve more than they thought possible.
Coaching is not about performance management or counseling someone on their way out. It’s about helping people rise up to their full potential. When you invest in coaching your people, it sends a powerful message about your confidence in them and commitment to helping them grow. It’s one of the best tools you have to slow and manage turnover while engaging, retaining, and developing your leadership pipeline.
The Role of a Retail Coach
Our coaching process acknowledges that the client is highly capable and motivated already and deserves to have a strong say in how the process will play out. The MOHR Retail consultant/coach serves as a mentor, allowing the client to contribute the most during sessions, and then providing guidance and tools to enhance their goals and drive stronger performance results.
Because our research has shown that people tend to be more motivated and productive when they are going after goals and plans that they believe in and set for themselves, our coaches don’t enable or dictate. Instead, they’re there to notice the small details, present options, counsel, build motivation, and help people hold themselves accountable.
3 Types of Retail Coaching
We offer coaching in three levels to all types of teams or individuals:
