To be effective, managers and leaders need to learn a variety of coaching techniques so that they can cater to the specific needs of individual employees. Leadership, Negotiation and Storytelling Coach Lisa Gates helps managers and leaders who are struggling with coaching learn the three basic types—coaching to improve performance, develop careers, and encourage high performers—and apply different techniques to get results.
