Course description

Many new managers find that the real challenge of leadership isn't having all the answers; it's knowing when to share an answer, when to coach, and when to let others think through a problem themselves. The habits that once drove individual success, such as moving quickly, solving problems, and taking ownership, can become obstacles when every challenge comes back to you. Great managers build capability in others, not dependence on themselves. Strong coaching changes the conversation. Instead of jumping in with solutions, managers learn to listen more carefully, ask better questions, and create space for employees to think through challenges, decisions, and next steps. Coaching helps people strengthen judgment, take greater ownership, and grow more confident in their ability to solve problems. This experience introduces practical ways to recognize when coaching is the right approach and when direction, advice, feedback, or a clear decision is needed instead. Learners will explore core coaching skills, use the GROW framework to guide focused conversations, and turn good intentions into specific commitments and follow-up. They will also learn how to adapt their approach based on the employee, the situation, and the outcome needed. When managers coach well, conversations become more productive, employees become more capable, and teams become less dependent on one person having every answer.
