Overview
Key Features
One of the most important roles of a manager is to ensure that team members clearly understand their goals and direction. Effective managers set expectations, evaluate performance against those expectations, and adopt a coaching approach to guide employees toward achieving desired outcomes.
The course teaches how to identify situations where expectations are not being met and how to apply the concept of “Coaching Algebra” to uncover the underlying issues affecting performance. It also explains how to respond effectively in a manager‑as‑coach role.
The Setting Expectations and Assessing Performance Issues course is offered by Coursera in partnership with UC Davis and focuses on developing essential coaching and performance management skills.
