All great coaches know how to ask good open-ended questions and how to give effective feedback. They keep a balanced and honest perspective that separates the person from the problem or issue; coaching to leverage their unique strengths and helping them improve weaknesses with a mindset focused on continuous improvement.

This ongoing coaching and development can be a “game changer” for all people and teams with access to it. But what about the teams and players that arent empowered—or even allowed—to expand their roles? Or the team members whose careers dont inspire or play to their natural gifts, talents, and strengths? Its painful for any organization or manager when people on their team arent given the tools to succeed; and more painful still when the team member doesnt yet realize it. But by coaching through leadership, any manager of any organization can create a supportive structure that helps assign the right roles, resources, tools, and career opportunities that will best leverage their strengths.
