Coaching Skills are often low on management’s list of priorities. This in itself lowers staff morale, as they struggle to complete tasks to acceptable standards due to a lack of training.
Coaching can be a vital tool in the manager's armoury. Often, managers veer towards a 'Tell' style to solve most problems. This can be useful of course but sometimes an 'Ask' style can give your team the motivation and engagement that 'Telling' sometimes prevents.
