LEAD LIKE A COACH:  How to Shift from Problem Solver to People Developer
If you’re a leader, you can probably confirm that you spend more than half of your time dealing with people issues. Along with growing, motivating and retaining your team, other issues like resource constraints and increasing customer expectations add additional pressure. The pace is daunting. But as ironic as it sounds,  stepping back and shifting your leadership focus from problem solving to people developing can bring out the best performance in your team members and lead to better overall results. 
 
Building a development culture through a coaching approach to leadership results in improved performance, better problem solving and retaining your top talent – and it can give you some of that people management time back. Employees who clearly understand expectations -- and know they’re accountable -- enjoy a higher level of job satisfaction, stay longer, and produce better results. Isn’t that what we’re all after?
