Leaders Adopt Coaching To Build Capability
Business leaders are shifting from "fixing" to coaching, urging managers to ask questions and build team problem-solving to speed learning and reduce bottlenecks. Research cited includes Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2023 (about 23% employee engagement) and the International Coaching Federation's estimate that coaching is now worth several billion dollars. Organizations using weekly check-ins, outcome-based goals, and manager training report higher engagement and faster decision-making.
