Abstract: The Project Coach: How to Stretch and Develop Others While Getting Work Done
Business coaching has evolved from fad to fundamental. Having the ability to “coach and develop others” is a necessary skill for all project managers. But with so much to do and so little guidance, how do project managers successfully stretch and develop others while getting the work done? Successful coaching is based on asking rather than telling, on challenging rather than giving directions, and by holding a person accountable for results. This session provides a useful framework on how to get the best out of your team while getting stuff done.
