When managers adopt a coaching mindset, learning cultures flourish, and when that happens, employees are more engaged at work. However, only 30-40% of managers have received training on how to coach. Our Building Better Managers research report also found that 53% of managers who did receive coaching training were unsatisfied with the guidance given.
At Mindtools, we’re here to change that. Our expert-led resources help managers like you develop a coaching mindset, so you can support your team’s success while growing your own leadership skills.
