manager as coach
The 'must have' management skillset: coaching
Why 'manager as coach'?
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 |
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.
