What is a Leader as Coach?
According to the seminal Leader as Coach article in Harvard Business Review published in 2019 written by Herminia Ibarra and Anne Scoular, in the face of rapid, disruptive change, companies are realising that managers can’t be expected to have all the answers and that command-and-control leadership is no longer viable. As a result, many firms are moving toward a coaching model in which managers facilitate problem-solving and encourage employees’ development by asking questions and offering support and guidance rather than giving orders and making judgments.
Companies are moving away from traditional command-and-control practices and toward something very different: a model in which managers give support and guidance rather than instructions, and employees learn how to adapt to constantly changing environments in ways that unleash fresh energy, innovation, and commitment.
The role of the manager, in short, is becoming that of a coach.

The Leader as Coach facilitates development
A leader as coach will be a positive role model in the organisation and one that empowers their teams to be focused on their personal and professional development. Coaching allows time for the discussion of new ideas and ways of working.
The coaching leader brings our the best in their teams
As a leader your role is to support and develop your people to be at their best and coaching does exactly that. It’s not a tool to be wheeled in and wheeled out under the guise of “performance management” – this is the way to improve performance, engagement and retention.
Equip your leaders to become coaches
Most Managers and Leaders report that they don’t feel skilled enough to be a coach so this course is a prime opportunity to turn coaching into a strength – it’s not about micro-managing, it’s about supporting people to be autonomous, innovative and focused on their strengths to make great contribution in the business.
