Coaching is a Management Obligation

Yes, but where it is not, mentoring is a very good option.
Mentoring is coaching from a third party.

Here's the essence of coaching:
  1. Verify the other person wants help.
  2. Generate options with the other person.
  3. Walk through consequences of those options. Wait for the coachee to choose an option (unless other people's safety is at stake).
  4. Create an action plan to implement those chosen options.
Good advice Johanna!

And now for the other side, if you do not have a coach
or a mentor... or at a minimum a good sounding board

Get one!
