Programme Overview

In today’s volatile work environment, organisations demand adaptability, creativity, and ownership from their workforce. Yet many leaders still rely on outdated authority-driven approaches that suppress initiative. This disconnect widens expectations gaps, weakens engagement, and limits collective performance, particularly as younger employees seek autonomy, purpose, and collaborative leadership.

The Manager as Coach programme reframes leadership as a partnership focused on growth and performance. Drawing on globally recognised coaching principles, participants build skills to ask powerful questions, listen deeply, and develop others. By adopting a coaching mindset, leaders learn to unlock capability, strengthen trust, and stimulate innovative thinking that sustains organisational relevance and competitive advantage.

Key Learning Outcomes
  • Transition from directive management to effective coaching leadership

  • Improve team engagement, ownership, and accountability
