  • QUOTE: The coaching leadership style is about inspiring your team, building their confidence, and teaching them the skills they need in order to develop and work together successfully while ensuring they feel supported by the coaching leader along the way.

    It relies on the coaching leader having good communication and social skills - as constructive feedback is important in this leadership style - but the most successful coach will also ask questions of their employees to encourage brainstorming and problem-solving.

  • QUOTE: ... If you put coaching and style together you get a definition of coaching style: a person’s unique way of working with another individual to help him or her improve performance and reach his or her potential. There are four different types of coaching styles:
    • Direct. The direct style has high assertiveness and low expressiveness. Direct coaches coach by taking charge of projects and committing to the deadline.
    • Spirited. The spirited style has high assertiveness and high expressiveness. This style coaches by inspiring, and they visualize the big picture and use their creativity.
    • Considerate. Considerate style coaches have low assertiveness and high expressiveness. They coach by facilitating a comfortable environment and being empathetic and encouraging.
    • Systematic. This style has low assertiveness and low expressiveness. Coaches coach by planning carefully and using logic in all their decision-making processes.
