Coaching develops performance through observation, targeted feedback, and practice plans tied to measurable outcomes. Leaders coach well when they focus on specific behaviors, define what “good” looks like, and support skill-building through repetition and review. Coaching requires listening, asking questions that surface root causes, and setting short action commitments with follow-up. Strong coaches balance support with standards, ensuring growth does not replace accountability. Over time, coaching builds capability, engagement, and stronger leadership pipelines.
