There have been many approaches to leadership over the years, from command and control to more inclusive styles. Some leaders micro-manage, others are quick to delegate. It is hard for new leaders who are perhaps just starting to manage a team to find the right approach. And equally hard for more experienced leaders who would like to be more approachable and supportive.

According to leadership expert, Karen Morley, leaders who coach can double their engagement score. Even more importantly in today's technology-driven, fast-paced world, they can lighten their load and reduce the pressure on themselves. Coaching is all about refocusing how you engage with your team.

Leaders who coach: Book Features:

Lead Like a Coach is for leaders who care about the people they lead; care about their own success; and want to make a positive impact on their stakeholders, their families and their communities. It is packed with practical strategies and case studies making it easy for anyone to start to lead like a coach.

Industry Reviews

My career would not be where it is today without the candid, thought-provoking and ‘call-to-action’ coaching from Karen over many years. She taught me how to navigate my journey – through the highs and lows – with an honesty that enabled me to challenge conventions and take ownership of my destiny. This book is a must-read – it gives us the methodology, tools and encouragement to ignite the coaching pathway for all. We owe this to our teams, and to ourselves to always strive to be better leaders.
