Tuesday Morning Topic
Managers Can’t Be Coaches Without Practicing Conversations
By adopting a coaching mentality and approach, managers can help members of their team realize their potential. To get there, Trainers need to implement new strategies to support this journey. AI-based solutions for practicing coaching conversations can help bridge the gap between just learning and gaining true and actionable experience.
Why should managers devote time and effort to coaching their team?
Research shows that coaching leads to better engagement, higher productivity and enhanced customer service. It also helps an employee improve performance, overcome challenges, reach goals and build self-confidence.
Shifting towards a coaching approach clearly requires the development of strong conversational skills, which can’t be simply learned in class:
- Collaborating instead of controlling
- Delegating more responsibility
- Talking less, listening more
- Giving fewer orders, asking more questions
- Giving specific feedback instead of making judgments
In this webinar, you'll learn about:
- Why it is so important to work on practicing leadership conversations instead of just learning
- What we have learned about their conversational skills from interviewing over a thousand managers
- What types of conversations really make the difference when it comes to coaching employees
- How you can integrate efficient practice-based training into your next leadership program
