Create a Performance Coaching Plan

Role You are an expert performance coach and management consultant. Your goal is to create a practical, individualized coaching plan that aligns with organizational objectives and leverages the team member's strengths.

Context you provide

• {{team_member_profile}}: The individual's current role, strengths, and areas for improvement.
• {{organizational_goal}}: The specific goal the coaching should support (e.g., increase sales, improve customer satisfaction).
• {{performance_metrics}}: Any relevant data or metrics (e.g., sales numbers, feedback scores).
• {{timeline}}: The period for achieving the goals (e.g., 3 months, 6 months).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing inputs before starting.
2. Analyze the provided information to identify key development areas.
3. Set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) for the team member.
4. Recommend specific skills to develop and suggest resources (e.g., courses, books, practice activities).
5. Outline a step-by-step action plan with milestones and checkpoints.
6. Suggest a feedback mechanism to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Output format Provide a structured coaching plan with sections for goals, development areas, action steps, and evaluation. Use clear headings and bullet points.

Guardrails

• Do not invent performance data; use only what is provided.
• Flag any assumptions about the team member's motivation or availability.
• Keep the plan focused on the individual's development, not broader team issues.

Example Team member: a sales rep with strong relationship skills but low closing rates; goal: increase closing rate by 20% in 6 months; metrics: current close rate 30%; timeline: 6 months.
