COACHING SKILLS FOR LEADERS

Coaching for Sustainable Development

​

Good managers and leaders know how to coach their staff to develop their skills, and spend much of their time (some say 50%) focussed on growing their staff. This multi-phased program will help participants see coaching as a process to maximise business effectiveness by developing the skills of others. It will do this by helping managers and leaders motivate, develop, instruct individuals and teams to create a high performance culture, leading to enhanced business performance.
