Course Overview
It is now recognised that the effective use of regular coaching conversations between managers and those reporting to them enhances performance and produces results. Coaching an engineer to identify challenges, explore options and select optimal solutions enables the engineer to develop, the manager to share responsibilities and the organisation to deliver.
Course Aim
This one-day CPD course will develop managers’ coaching skills of active listening, effective questioning and delivering productive feedback in order to better manage and develop those engineers reporting to them.
