Sometimes, to perform at their best, employees may need just a few questions answered or have a skill demonstrated to them. However, many managers may not know how to coach their employees and without a good manager to model for them, they may not even identify coaching as a means to developing these skills.

As a manager, good coaching skills allow you to empower your people, push them to be their best – without pushing them too hard and guide them to greatness.

• Managers and supervisors with less than one year's experience.
• Experienced managers with little or no formal supervisory training.
• Experienced managers who’d like to brush up on their skills.
• Aspiring and soon-to-be-promoted managers/supervisors.
