Skills you’ll gain
Good coaching makes everything easier. When you coach well, it leads your team to self-efficacy. You foster teams full of accountability and ownership. You empower people to lead from within and effectively manage their own goals and pursuits. When you coach well, you actually manage less. In this course drawn from more than 30 years of management experience, Eric Zackrison, PhD, breaks down how to modify your management style to become a better coach to create stronger teams. you'll learn strategies for how to assess your team’s real strengths, identify and address team and skills gaps, and learn methods for how to create a supportive climate that fosters collaboration and growth. you'll also learn to use a framework to set measurable and realistic goals, then how to prioritize and track progress. Learn how to set up a successful coaching session along with the process for setting milestones and check-ins. By the end of this course, you'll understand why good coaches lead their employees to empowerment — and why empowerment is the ticket to great teams.
