In this course, Aimee Horowitz guides you through a six-part video class which covers four main goals.
Understanding a leader’s role in developing the team is paramount for fostering a thriving work environment. Effective leaders recognize their responsibility to guide and nurture their team members, facilitating growth and progress. They must act as a catalyst for positive change, empowering individuals to reach their full potential while aligning their efforts with organizational goals.
One powerful tool in a leader’s arsenal is adopting a coaching mindset. Rather than simply providing directives, a coaching approach involves active listening and open-ended questioning to elicit insights and solutions from team members. This not only builds trust but also empowers individuals to take ownership of their development and problem-solving processes.
Distinguishing between coaching, advising, and mentoring is equally vital. While advising and mentoring offer valuable guidance based on experience, coaching encourages self-discovery and critical thinking in team members. Coaching creates an environment of continuous learning and growth, where individuals feel supported and encouraged to explore their capabilities.
