Powerful Secrets to Be a GREAT Coach

Do you know the answer to the following question?  How is coaching different than managing?

One of my Leadership components is a training on this very subject.  My clients want their top leaders to inspire their direct reports while attaining great results.  This blog will help you discover your “inner coach” which already exists. You will reduce conflict in the workplace after you add some of the ideas in this article.

The Difference Between Managing and Coaching

Managing/Directing

• Telling someone what to do
• Solving a problem
• Directive, most input given by the manager

Coaching

• Helping others solve their problems
• Reflecting/Facilitating
• Non-directive.  Most input contribute by the employee
