Coaching Skills for Managers

Overview

Coaching is less concerned with telling someone how to perform the task exactly as instructed, and, instead, focuses on empowering them to discover solutions for themselves and to be responsible for their actions.

On this course, participants will learn what to delegate, who to delegate to, and how to delegate using the 8 Steps to Successful Delegation. Special attention is given to the principles of successful coaching conversations. In these conversations, the manager helps the employee to set goals and identify actions that they are committed to, and provides feedback and support so that the employee understands how they are doing and how to improve.
