Abstract

The article discusses the need for a shift in leadership style towards a culture of coaching in the modern workplace. It highlights the challenges organizations face in implementing coaching programs and suggests a more manageable approach called "everyday coaching." The article presents three experiments conducted at AstraZeneca, Sandoz, and Vodafone to evaluate the impact of this approach. The experiments focused on goal-setting, one-on-one meetings, and performance conversations, and showed positive outcomes in terms of employee engagement, psychological safety, and career development. The article emphasizes the importance of leveraging everyday interactions and adopting a coaching-style leadership approach. [Extracted from the article]
