作为现代商业世界的一个管理者，你不能直接告诉你的下属要做什么：你要帮助他们自己做决定，让他们有能力自己解决难题，在工作中全力发展他们的技能。无论你们团队是有一个渴望进步的明星，还是一个拖团队后退的表现不佳者，或者是一个感觉厌倦和被忽视的稳重的贡献者，你都需要辅导他们：帮助确立他们的目标——支持他们达成目标。

在《HBR辅导员工指南》中，你将学到：

• 制定务实但鼓舞人心的成长计划

• 提出正确的问题，让员工参与发展过程

• 给他们空间设法解决问题和发现解决方案

• 让他们充分利用自己专长的同时迫使他们竭尽所能地去成长

• 给他们提供可以真正运用的反馈

• 平衡辅导和你的其它工作

As a manager in today’s business world, you can’t just tell your direct reports what to do: You need to help them make their own decisions, enable them to solve tough problems, and actively develop their skills on the job.

Whether you have a star on your team who’s eager to advance, an underperformer who’s dragging the group down, or a steady contributor who feels bored and neglected, you need to coach them: Help shape their goals—and support their efforts to achieve them.
