Great leaders do more than manage performance. They develop people.
In this episode of Uncensored and In Charge, Erin Childs explores why coaching should be a core leadership responsibility and how investing in your people can build confidence, accountability, stronger managers, better retention, and a healthier leadership pipeline.
Presented by Erin Childs, Executive Coach & Restaurant Consultant, Independent, and host of Uncensored and In Charge.
In this session, Erin explores:
- The difference between managing someone and coaching them
- Why the best leaders recognize that everyone has room to grow
- How better questions can help employees think independently
- Why coaching should include high performers, not just struggling employees
- How five-minute conversations can become powerful coaching moments
- Why newly promoted managers need to be taught how to coach
- How coaching builds confidence, self-awareness, accountability, and belonging
- Why CEOs, executives, and senior leaders need coaches too
- How investing in people can improve retention, engagement, succession, and performance
- Why a leader’s greatest legacy may be the people they helped become successful
Erin also challenges every leader to identify one person on their team and have a meaningful conversation about who that person wants to become, not simply what they need to accomplish today.
