Course Introduction & What is Coaching?

This module defines coaching as well as the 4 other roles modern managers are expected to play in their organizations: leader, manager, mentor, and trainer. Many examples are provided to help illustrate each role and common pitfalls associated with the overuse of each role will be covered. The module wraps up with a comparison of all the roles managers have and then asks you to identify and explain why you would go to one role over another in particular situations.

Why Managers Must Develop Basic Coaching Skills

And in lesson 4, we'll discuss the interrelationship between point of view and belief systems and introduce you to the Thought Model.

Reviews

It opens a wide perspective about managing, being manager only is the traditional managing concept, but after this course i knew about many other rules...it is very helpful course.

Very interesting course on main theoretical aspect of Managers Role (putting the focus on Coaching), but also providing tips on how to identify and react to day-to-day real situations!

I like the way, the Instructor provided examples to each concept she presents. The Course has really helped me to understand that Coaching is very important as a Manager and I need to use it.

The Thought Model embedded in this course is a must for any Manager-Coach, it's an excellent model to coaching teams. I am emerging a better Manager-Coach out of this course!!!
