As more organizations adopt a coaching culture, the need for expertise in coaching grows. Coaching recognizes the inherent potential of people and as a collaborative process (manager-employee) widens the sphere of intellect and impacts the learning process. By using a “coach approach”, managers shift from being directive and controlling to coaching for exceptional results.
Managers who are effectively involved in the growth and development of their employees make behaviour change happen. The manager with a coaching mind-set builds a work environment that guides employees to achieve higher levels of skills, increased engagement, and promotes personal development.
