In my dream world, every leader would have coaching skills . . .

• Being able to listen – to really listen
• Showing empathy whenever possible
• Asking great questions that enable their recipient to work it out for themselves

 

And if you are a leader who possesses these skills, then you’ll know the rewards you’re already reaping:

• Helping teams to become more coordinated, and to communicate and collaborate better
• Maximizing your own organizational impact
• Increasing your self-awareness and understanding of people
• Raising your emotional intelligence
• Better management of relationships . . . leading to optimum performance

And if perhaps you’re a leader who doesn’t, what one step could you take today, or tomorrow, to inch closer to giving people in your team what they need?

And who might help you?

What might it take to try?
