Can you coach a Team Member that is not in your area?

[Targetnoob1]

I'm a really new TL and wonder if it's possible to coach other Team Members?

 

[RandomTM007]

If you notice them doing something on the spot worth coaching, you should address it with the TM but you should be taking your concerns to their TL/ETL for them to address with them.

You can and you should. With the way workday is set up you can't write up the PIP. But you can document the conversation that was had and send it out in an email to HR and that TMs leaders. It's on them what happens from there.

What is with people who create an account and delete it the next day?

 

[NKG]

🙄 why even create an account

Noob---if you're that new and new to the forum strongly suggest minding your own business, back off, focus on what YOU should be doing and get off the power trip. Got it?

...Team Member WHO....NOT Team Member "THAT".

Can't someone ask a simple question without getting railed? Why so mean? Jaysus H.

You've obviously been scarred by leadership in the past, but sometimes TMs actually do wrong and need to be corrected. Leaders need to lead.

???

Who refers to people, "that" refers to animals, places and things. Another subtle usage correction missed. Not unusual. While both are marginally accepted, the former is preferred. Regarding the write up nonsense. Yes, in extreme cases a paper trail is necessary but for someone (relatively) new with little knowledge of the process and culture leading by fear is going backwards. One will never gain trust in a manager the instant they begin a trail, or at least infer or threaten one. Ask questions, have an intelligent conversation (if the receiving end is capable) and think things over first. Young managers will learn, maybe. It just takes time.

Ok but I don't see where the grammar police correction applies in this thread.

Also, just because someone asks a question doesn't mean they are on a power trip. They want to know the answer to the question. Scolding someone to "get off the power trip" and if they've "got it?" comes across as very hostile.
