Discuss the constraints that a coach may experience in attempting to observe an employee's performance regarding developmental activities

What will be an ideal response?

When attempting to observe an employee's performance regarding developmental activities, a coach may experience the following constraints:
• Time constraints—coaches (supervisors) may be too busy to gather information on an employee's progress. Too much time between assignment of activity and the supervisor checking on the employee's progress may be problematic.
• Situational constraints—supervisors may not be able to directly observe an employee's developmental activities and therefore will not have firsthand information regarding performance of these activities.
• Activity constraints—some activities are highly unstructured and a supervisor may have to wait until the activity is finished, or until milestones have been completed, before evaluating performance in the activity.
