Overview

Many organisations now include a blend of virtual, hybrid and distributed teams. This means that our approach to leading and developing must adapt so our teams remain relational and connected. Managing through coaching is now an essential skill for every manager.

Manager as Coach is a management style that offers more flexibility and range in building relationships, developing staff and maximising efficiency and productivity. It is about collaborating, working to build the strengths of your team, delegating more, talking less, listening more, and giving effective feedback. It is about understanding others at a deeper level which can lead to a more empowering and higher-performing culture.

This course is highly interactive and experiential. It will enable you to understand the fundamental principles, purpose, limitations and benefits of coaching as a management tool. Through our design, you will practise coaching skills for managers that will transform how you communicate, interact and grow your team. This approach develops staff, enhances team cohesion and supports productivity.

Manager as Coach is also available with an ILM Level 5 Award in Leadership and Management.

ILM is the UK’s leading provider of leadership, coaching and management qualifications and training.
