The ‘human capital’ of an organisation is one of its greatest assets. No matter how good a product is, the human component can ‘make or break’ a business. The transfer of knowledge and skill within organisations is a crucial part of this process and has implications on productivity, customer satisfaction and staff retention to name but a few.

Whether you are a long time or recently appointed manager, getting the best from your direct-reports by raising the impact of your management effectiveness and coaching efforts is a vital element of ensuring a motivated and ever improving workforce. New Horizons ‘Effective Coaching for Managers’ course introduces the essentials that will allow your business leaders to take the organisation to another level.

Structure makes a difference in the effectiveness of the process. Knowing where the candidate is and having a structure and strategy to help them grow is crucial for the candidate. It also makes it easier to manage both the knowledge/skills transfer and how the candidate is applying it in the workplace.

The ability to communicate, relate, goal set, motivate and feedback all involve an understanding of people, their differences and how to get the best out of them. Effective Coaching for Managers helps you to do that more effectively.

The challenge for all managers is how to get staff to operate at a consistently high level. The answer lies in the manager’s ability to transfer skills and knowledge (acting as coach) and get the coachee engaged in the process. The coach acts as a catalyst to create positive, progressive changes in the coachee.
