Coaching is a practice that has been around since the days of Ancient Greece. Socrates has long been considered the father of coaching with his use of the Socratic Method to challenge the thinking of other philosophers in his time. The practice has evolved over time, but its core remains the same: helping people find answers to important questions in a guided way.
As Managers develop their teams, it’s critical to ensure the team isn’t just learning how to do, but how to think. When Managers act as coaches, they’re able to help their employees unlock their potential and challenge what they know as a way to truly learn and thrive.
