Why your boss should expect you to coach

June 3, 2015

ToolkitA recent article in the Harvard Business Review asserts that managers are neglecting an effective tool to develop talent if they don’t use coaching.

The research studied managers who used coaching and those who did not. The difference in managers who coach is their mindset. They believe in the value of coaching and see it as a natural part of their toolkit.

How do managers find the time?

  • They see coaching as “must have” rather than “nice to have” for achieving business goals.
  • They enjoy helping people develop.
  • They are curious.
  • They are interested in establishing connections.
