The Art of People Development
Since the invention of industry, managers have been seen as holders of accountability. Experts have been promoted into leadership roles because of their deep functional knowledge (or connection to people who make decisions). For the most part, the workforce accepted this as truth and rarely expected anything more from their managers. Today's manager is expected to be a coach. Demonstrating deep investment in your staff's development is critical to retaining them. These sessions help leaders hone the craft of coaching.
