There has been a great deal of discussion about the wide disparity among lawyers and staff who span multiple generations. These generations have different skills, ambitions and expectations. The administrator’s task is to find ways to keep these multiple generations engaged and productive. Weaving the tapestry of a great work environment requires recognizing the generational issues, coaching different groups for their best work, and understanding today’s job marketplace. The administrator who invests the energy in this newest skill set of coaching will reap rewards in personal and professional development, a productive work force, attracting and retaining the best talent, and enhancing business processes.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss the skill set associated with effective job coaching
• Identify the principle of job coaching accountability
• Develop strategies for assessing coaching outcomes
