Adaptive Leadership and Cultures

I love this post! It paints such a simple, yet powerful picture of what leaders developing others really looks like and achieves.

Developing Others (I prefer this than the term coaching, as people have specific ideas about what coaching is/isn't and the term itself can frighten a lot of line leaders who don't see themselves as coaches) is about regular conversations and sharing that helps workers solve problems, sets them up for and supports them through difficult challenges, aligns them with business priorities and ultimately helps them get better at their work every day.

A simple group activity you might try (with HR/L&D and/or line leaders) would be to pull this post apart and turn it into a simple set of behavioural expectations for your line leaders - make their role in developing team members clear. HR/L&D can then look at how they can best support and enable line leaders to perform their roles.
