Leadership has changed dramatically.  Leaders are confronted with the diverse interpersonal challenges of delegating, instructing, empowering, evaluating, supporting and giving feedback. The shift is away from directly controlling, organizing and resolving, towards shared accountability and collaborative decision making. 

Coaching is a non-traditional means of achieving organizational goals by helping instruct and guide others so they may drive business objectives and, at the same time, grow and develop professionally. It is a philosophy of managing and teaching others.   It is a collaborative way of working with others. It is how you think; it is how you behave. It is not simply about being accommodating, it is a nuanced and learned skill set. Although essential, it is not why many chose their current career path.
