MISCONCEPTION 1: Coaching is Soft
Leaders who coach do not shy away from regular check-ins and constructive feedback. In fact, they embrace these conversations as opportunities to help individuals and teams improve.
By creating a safe space, the conversation goes beyond surface-level issues, uncovering the real challenges and opportunities for growth.
