Why listen to this podcast
• There is an expectation that leaders are able to be effective coaches for their teams today
• There are tools such as the Leadership Circle Profile that can help you understand your own strengths and weaknesses
• You don’t necessarily need to work on weaknesses – often enhancing areas of strength can give better results than focusing on improving areas of weakness
• To effectively mentor someone in an area you need to have deep knowledge and experience working in that domain
• Facilitation is a skillset that is about helping others achieve their goals in a collaborative session
