1. "Can we meet this afternoon for about 30 minutes to discuss your progress?"
2. "I think you need to get different day care that would allow you to be on time."
3. "Over the past 6 months the narcotics count has been off on several days that you have worked."

Rationale 2: Giving advice about day care assumes the manager knows the employee's problem.
Rationale 3: This statement is accusatory and would not set up a good coaching opportunity.
Rationale 4: Coaching is a mentoring relationship. It is a brief interaction.
