12. We believe the coaching style of
leadership is most
effective, because…
• It encompasses many of the other
styles
• It helps achieve performance goals
• You‟ll have better performance
conversations
• It supports meeting deadlines &
getting into action

13. The coaching style of
leadership also helps…
• Improve teamwork & other
relationships
• Collaboration, creativity & innovation
• Employee engagement
• Motivating others
• Practical issues like delegation & time
management

14. Other leadership styles
are, of course, needed at
some point…
• Coaching is about you being at
conscious choice
• That way, you can extend or flex
your leadership styles
• You can apply the principles of
leadership coaching at any time –
whichever style you use
