What is the coach's primary responsibility?

• A. Get your employees to a level where they can succeed.
• B. Punish underperformers
• C. Replace the team
• D. Focus solely on tasks

Answer: (A)

Coaching is about developing people so they can succeed. A supervisor who prioritizes coaching works to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence your team needs to perform well, safely, and consistently. This means offering clear expectations, constructive feedback, hands-on guidance, opportunities for training, and removing obstacles that block performance. When you invest in your team's growth, overall performance and patient care improve over time. Punishing underperformers doesn’t teach or empower the person to improve, and replacing the team creates disruption without addressing the underlying development needs. Focusing only on tasks ignores the people who carry them out, and without developing those people, task execution won’t reach its full potential.
