Description:
In recent years, organizations have invested heavily in building coaching cultures including coaching skills training for managers. However, a rapidly growing body of research highlights the greater value of coachability for organizational effectiveness. For example, highly coachable leaders have been found to foster greater levels of employee engagement and retention. Across employees (i.e., leaders and individual contributors), research shows highly coachable individuals achieve significantly higher levels of performance, agility, and promotability. In fact, one study indicated coachability matters more than the coaching skills of the manager for learning, performance, and agility. As such, the impact of focusing on coaching without coachability may prove costly. Investing in workforce coachability can be a catalyst to complement organizational improvement initiatives, such as coaching practices, leadership bench-building, DEI training, and workforce upskilling.
This session will provide insights and applicable ideas centered around coachability, specifically the four practices of highly coachable leaders and what they create.
