Leadership Coaching Skills

How managers can use coaching techniques to improve performance and engagement.

Introduction

Coaching is one of the most effective tools for developing employees. Leaders who coach rather than direct build stronger, more resilient teams.

Coaching Frameworks

The GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) is a common framework. It helps leaders structure conversations productively.

Question Banks

  • What was your biggest challenge this week?
  • What options have you considered?
  • What support would help most?

Practice

Effective coaching requires practice. Encourage leaders to run short coaching sessions weekly and reflect on outcomes.

Conclusion

Leadership coaching builds autonomy and problem-solving skills. With structured practice, managers can become effective coaches.
