Do your high performing people want you to solve every challenge for them (a fixer) or would they prefer that you give them the skills and opportunities to develop these skills for themselves (a coach). By focusing on skills development, you can prepare your team to meet the numerous challenges facing your business. Various studies from World Economic Forum and Gartner have shown that the number of skills required to complete a job is increasing year on year and also the shelf life of core skills is decreasing. Using a fixer style of management is no longer sustainable; managers need to build agile teams through a skills-based approach with a coaching mindset.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • identify what is a ‘fixer’ style of management and why do managers feel comfortable using this style
  • move from micromanaging to coaching that is focused on long term success for your team
  • use the 5 coaching questions that will save you time and improve performance
  • learn 5 techniques that you can use to build a coaching style for managing people.

Intended audience

This webinar will help people at all levels of their career who manage or lead teams and are looking to improve their leadership style.

Webinar format

This is a discussion-based session using scenarios and activities to apply learning.

Everyone who attends the session will receive their own Personal Action Journal. This journal contains tips and exercises that are explored during the workshop and will help you get your action plan started.
