Why Coaching Skills Matter for Every Manager

Most managers are promoted because they excel at their jobs — not because they know how to lead people. Without coaching skills, even the most capable managers can struggle to motivate, develop, and retain their teams.

The cost of poor management is high: disengaged employees, lost productivity, and reduced retention. When managers learn to coach, they unlock the potential in others — improving accountability, communication, and performance across the organisation.

“Before you became a leader, success was about growing yourself. After you became a leader, success was about growing others.”
— Jack Welch
