Course Overview:
The best leaders rarely give direction, unless in critical situations. Poor leaders use only one tool – telling people what to do, or giving them answers without checking if they are useful or needed. In the long run, this makes their people dependent, not independent.
Great leaders stimulate development in others, even when it takes time and effort and one of the most powerful tools leaders can use to develop people and build teams is facilitative-coaching. It is a must-have tool that every leader can learn to work more effectively.
Effective coaching conversations unlock a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. Good coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to their own problems but understands that they may need help to find the answer. Hence, the leader coach is the guide on the side, more than the sage on the stage.
This experiential workshop invites leader coaches to hone their skills in one of the most proven and effective tools to improve developmental outcomes of people they influence.
