Coaching Skills for Leaders
"The most common source of mistakes in management decisions is the emphasis on finding the right answer rather than the right question."
- Peter Drucker -
Not so long ago being great at your job meant having the right answers. Not anymore. The world and the way we work has changed. And the pace in which it continues to change is leading to continued disruption and uncertainty.
Today’s managers and leaders need to continually adapt, inspire, influence, and foster a culture of trust, collaboration, innovation and creativity. To support these changing needs the role of leader is shifting to that of a coach. And to make this transition leaders need support and expertise which is where we come in.
How do we learn to have inspiring and impactful conversations? How often is there balance between how much we listen and talk? The way we communicate has changed, we’re more likely to email or message someone than to talk to them. Introducing coaching skills can transform the way we talk, listen and interact with others. A move towards a coaching culture can transform an organisation and its results.
