Managers who are looking to take their staff management capabilities to the next level should consider working with a leadership coach. This professional can help them sharpen their skills in areas such as communication, problem solving, delegation, and leadership development. Recently, John was featured on Called to Coach, which will soon be available on the Called to Coach channel. He discussed the Solutions Focus (SF) coaching model and OSKAR, an effective way for managers to cultivate a coaching leadership style.
This program provides them with a set of tools that they can use instead of a prescribed process. The program consists of a two-day workshop entitled “Solutions Focus Coaching for Leaders” to introduce managers to the coaching leadership style and the OSKAR model. During this workshop, Gallup experts and independent strengths coaches share tactics, ideas, and strategies to help coaches maximize the talent of individuals, teams, and organizations around the world. The SF coaching model is based on the idea that people have the resources they need to solve their own problems. It focuses on identifying and leveraging existing strengths rather than trying to fix weaknesses.
The OSKAR model is a five-step process that helps managers develop their coaching skills. It includes Observe, Set Goals, Know Your Strengths, Ask Questions, and Review Progress. This model helps managers create an environment where employees can take ownership of their work and develop their own solutions. Leadership coaching is an invaluable tool for managers who want to develop their skills and become better leaders. By working with a coach, managers can learn how to use the SF coaching model and OSKAR model to create an environment where employees can thrive.
With the right guidance and support, managers can unlock their potential and become more effective leaders.
