· For each pitfall and accompanying example, provide a statement indicating how you would avoid or overcome that pitfall.

· You may also present your response using a table format:

Observation of pitfall in current or former workplace

How I would avoid or overcome this pitfall as a supervisor

One Size Fits All - (A cookie-cutter approach to coaching all employees)

The Know It All - (Believing that s/he is never wrong)

No Time - (Neglecting the individual coaching process because of a perceived lack of time)

Stereotyping - (Labeling employees: above average, below average, etc.)

Inappropriate focus - (Addressing attitude, personality, or character rather than outcomes or behavior)

Inflexible - (Failing to allow some leeway in how things get done)

Overusing criticism or undeserved praise
