This video of Daniel Goleman being interviewed about leadership explains very well, the type of skills that make outstanding leaders.
Many of these skills can be found in the coaching style of leadership.
The Lead First programme supports leaders and managers to develop these skills and competencies. During four days of experiential learning, with fortnightly intervals between sessions, participants learn to listen, gain awareness of different perceptual viewpoints. They practice the attitude and model of communication developed by Dr Marshall Rosenberg’s non-violent communication and the processes for group decision making developed by Gerard Endenburg’s work with – Dynamic Governance. They coach each other towards taking action and achieving thier goals.
This is what some of my recent participants said after attending this four day programme.
“I am now able to reflect about the overall situation in the nursery and myself as a manger too; the dynamics between the two and how to improve them. I am more able to use a particular style needed for the situation.” Corninna
“Coaching- listening to my staff and letting them solve problems, not jumping in with my opinion is what I have learnt” Tracey
“I feel that I am leaving the course with new skills. I feel empowered and confident and my team have already noticed the difference – inspirational!” Frances

Thanks for your comment. I agree that coaching is an extremely valuable process for people wishing to improve their lives and their leadership skills, parenting, relationships etc etc...and its great when managers develop some of these skills too, they are able to listen more to their staff, understand and support them. The skills are helpful for facilitating discussions, solving problems together,leading through conflicts and much much more....
