As a leader, you share knowledge, direct, problem-solve, you take responsibility… And you engage and develop others. The last one is what separates a great leader from an ordinary leader, and it is one of the most neglected leadership skills. Simply instructing others to complete the work and meet the deadlines is far easier than helping them grow and motivating them to maximize their potential.
That’s why for those who want to excel as leaders it’s necessary to learn how to be effective coaches, not just managers.

Becoming an extraordinary leader

While traditional management requires you to know what needs to be done, instruct others to do it, and later evaluate their performance – extraordinary leaders are able to spark changes across the organization and create a stimulative environment.

Instead of providing answers, excellent leaders ask the right questions that spark interest in another person. They support instead of judging and facilitate development instead of dictating. And most importantly – they are able to unlock people’s potential in order to maximize their performance.

This model, where employees feel seen and valued leads to fresh perspectives, proactivity, engagement, and commitment.

In other words, for leaders to go the extra mile and improve the effectiveness of their skills, they need to start implementing coaching practices in their day-to-day work and communications. 

Luckily, with the right support and tools, anyone can become better at coaching and improving their team engagement. 

That’s why we have created a training program designed for leaders that want to seek to achieve greater engagement and productivity within their teams, and become extraordinary leaders. Keep reading to find out more about it.

How great leaders inspire engaged employees

Employee engagement is a cornerstone of a thriving workplace. It directly drives productivity and greater performances, customer satisfaction and ultimately – higher profit. 

But what exactly is employee engagement and how can leaders inspire it? 

Employee engagement is an emotional connection that employees feel with their jobs. It’s more than just completing their daily tasks – it’s the commitment and dedication they feel about it. 

Gartner describes employee engagement as a degree to which workers are satisfied with their job and results, and their willingness to go the extra mile to complete their tasks. 

Engaged employees are more likely to have a longer tenure at the company, stay loyal, and create a stimulating environment among their colleagues. 

To improve enthusiasm, engagement, and motivation among their teams, leaders should start by evaluating their leadership style and think about how they can make changes to their approach to empower the team even further. 

All of this and more is covered in the training tailored for leaders that want to excel in their roles.
