Coaching as a Leader (How to Coach Individuals and Teams for Improved Performance)

Coaching individuals and teams is an essential part of a leader's role. Without effective coaching, employees and businesses will never reach their full potential but how do you get this right?

How can leaders encourage people to think critically and confidently problem-solve? How can they adapt their communication style to make sure that language is clear and direct but also supportive and motivational? How can leaders use their coaching skills to influence employee behaviour and company culture?

This book answers all these questions and more to provide leaders, senior executives and senior coaches with a best-practice guide on how to coach from a senior position. It covers the skills you need to coach as a leader as well as how to adopt a coaching approach to all elements of the employee life cycle from onboarding and engagement through to goal-setting and managing performance.

Coaching as a Leader has been created by senior business professionals together with the Association for Coaching: Linda Beatty, Ross Hunter, Jennifer Kidby, Victoria Leath, Katy McGregor, Nuha Al Moosa, Andy Murphy, Dena Paris, Angela Ryan, Paul Williamson and Tony Worgan.
