Overview

The role of team leaders is evolving. The predominant approach of command and control, aiming to direct and develop employees to replicate past successes is no longer viable. Rapid, constant, and disruptive changes are now the norm, making traditional approaches to management unreliable. Managers and leaders in today’s public sector are fully aware that team success doesn’t rely on their efforts and knowledge alone. It is well established that the best managers are those who tap into the talents of their team. By inspiring, motivating, unlocking hidden strengths, and enabling others to overcome obstacles that stand in the way. The challenge that managers and people leaders face, is how to make that change. How do you transition away from traditional command-and-control practices toward a model where managers offer enhanced support and guidance, steering away from rigid instructions? How do you ensure your team members are equipped to adapt to ever-changing environments, fostering renewed energy and innovation? In short, how do you step away from traditional, command and control leadership to become a coach?
