manager as coach
The must have management skillset: coaching
Today’s complex and hybrid world of work requires a more inclusive leadership style. Experts believe that coaching skills are now critical for leaders and managers to develop in themselves.
Upskilling leaders and managers to coach and mentor their people helps achieve high performance and grows a leader’s confidence to provide regular, developmental, feedback. Our ICF accredited Leader/Manager as Coach programme trains people in the skills, tools and context for coaching others in the workplace, as part of regular and easy conversations. Coaching and mentoring is often rated as one of the most useful interventions by the people being developed. Coaching can be life-changing as people feel properly listened to, understood and valued for their contribution.
Modern leaders need coaching skills
In today’s volatile environment, good relationships hold the workforce together.
People join organisations but leave managers - because relationships matter.
Coaching can support
- Better communication between managers and team members
- Positive feedback and performance management processes
- Training and study - combining learning and skills in practical ways
When organisations develop more coach-like, engaging managers, they address some of today’s fundamental challenges:
Unlock employee engagement |
Improve productivity and performance |
Reduce staff turnover and absenteeism |
Achieve more effective team work |
