Coaching is an essential approach for managers and leaders who wish to engage and develop their staff and teams. A Coaching style of management can change the level of empowerment felt by staff and the ownership they take over tasks and their roles. The skills for effective Coaching are highly transferable and will equip managers and leaders with a toolkit to have more effective and productive conversations at all levels.
