Leader as Coach: Building Self-Awareness, Effective Delegation, and Active Listening

In today's fast-changing and complex business environment, leaders must move beyond traditional management approaches and embrace different ways of working. As my focus is on coaching, my programme has coaching as a core leadership competency. This course provides leaders with the tools and frameworks needed to develop self-awareness, enhance their delegation skills through the use of speech acts, and master the art of active listening. While there is a great deal of leadership material to study, I have tried to give you a quick synopsis to get you started on the "Leader as Coach" view.

Through a combination of theory, reflective exercises, and practical application, participants will:

  • Explore their leadership style and how it shapes their interactions and decision-making.

  • Develop self-awareness to recognize personal biases, triggers, and patterns of behaviour that impact leadership effectiveness.

  • Learn how to delegate with clarity and accountability using speech acts such as requests, promises, and declarations.

  • Strengthen their ability to listen deeply and foster trust in conversations.

  • Understand the power of coaching conversations in motivating and empowering teams.

  • Apply key coaching techniques to create a culture of learning, adaptability, and engagement.

This course integrates research-based insights with experiential learning, offering leaders a structured approach to becoming more effective, agile, and people-centric in their leadership.


This is a short course, and I would love your feedback as I start building on the longer course to understand the needs of leaders like you.
