Leadership is a very critical role in any organization, and oftentimes the success or failure of one depends largely on the kind of leadership that it has. This is why it is essential that leaders in the modern marketplace be equipped with good and effective coaching skills to develop people and lead more effectively.
The popular rhetoric related to coaching tries to teach leaders to be executive coaches; in contrast to that, our guest today believes that coaching is an essential skill that you can bring in handy at any given time.
