Why Coaching

The Harvard Business Review recently gave these four reasons why managers coach :

• They see coaching as an essential tool for achieving business goals.
• They enjoy helping people develop.
• They are curious.
• They are interested in establishing connections.

Are you ready to invest in yourself as a leader and coach? HBR says,

"Whether it’s because [managers who coach] are competing for talent, operating in a highly turbulent market place, trying to retain their budding leaders, or aiming to grow their solid players, they believe that they simply have to take the time to coach."
