We all know the difference great coaching can make in sports and in business. Every two years, the Olympic Games give us glimpses into legendary sports coaches who help their athletes achieve peak performance. Consider how Michael Phelps relies on his long-time coach, Bob Bowman, to become the most decorated Olympian in history.
Coaching can make the same difference in business: studies show sales coaching programs can increase revenue nearly 20%.
Unfortunately, not all managers have the skillset to become effective coaches.
