Becoming a Leader Coach: A Step-by-Step Guide to Developing Your People

By Johan Naude and Florence Plessier

As a leader, you have different roles to play with your direct reports. One of them is to manage their day-to-day performance. Another is to support their development so they can continue to deliver top performance. Most leaders are comfortable with and effective in the first role. However, many leaders are less clear about the role of developing their direct reports, particularly coaching for development. This guidebook provides an introduction to leader-coaching, including a structure and a set of guidelines to conduct effective formal and informal coaching conversations with your direct reports.

[James Bryant · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great general overview of leaders as coaches. This guide presents a good summary of some of the challenges that managers may have when making the transition for dictating tasks and answering questions to coaching and asking questions.
