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.
