Everyone now knows that managers and leaders need to coach their people.

Daniel Goleman, the psychologist and journalist who popularised the concept of emotional intelligence, put a stake in the ground more than fifteen years ago in his Harvard Business Review  article “Leadership That Gets Results.” He suggested that there are six essential leadership styles. Coaching was one of them, and it was shown to have a “markedly positive” impact on performance, climate (culture) and the bottom line. At the same time, it was the least-used leadership style.

Why?

Goleman wrote, “Many leaders told us they don’t have the time in this high-pressure economy for the slow and tedious work of teaching people and helping them grow.”
