It’s a real struggle in our workplaces right now. Leaders and managers and their teams are overwhelmed by their workload. Therefore, rather than coach people to grow and develop and give someone a learning opportunity, we hear people say: ‘it really is easier to deal with that pressing matter myself’.

Or perhaps they have tried coaching, and then we hear ‘coaching doesn’t work because an employee is not responding, so rather than coaching them, it’s easier to do it myself’.

We all know we need to delegate and that coaching assists with delegation. But when it comes down to it, delegating can be difficult. Particularly when the team is under pressure.

So how do you use coaching to assist in delegation?  How do you coach people to pick up the slack, when it is their job and they need to perform better? Or alternatively, it’s not their job and you need them to step up?

There is a lot in this to unpack, so join us for this Coaching Café where we continue our theme of Coaching Cafes: exploring very real workplace coaching scenarios; and we focus on insights into coaching and delegation and how to overcome those moments when it is easier just to do it myself.
