There isn’t one particular leadership style that is the best. The most appropriate style depends on the type of organisation, its culture, and how it operates. Some leadership styles have fallen out of fashion, whilst others are more attuned to the current spirit of the times. Coaching leadership is a very popular style these days, and many organisations are asking their managers to adopt this leadership style. There are also many training courses out there designed to help managers (re)educate themselves in mastering these skills.

The reasons for choosing coaching leadership include:

▪ To increase employees’ self-confidence.
▪ To bring out the best in employees by improving their self-direction capabilities.
▪ To achieve more and better results with less effort.
