The Coaching-Based Leadership Program (CLP) empowers managers to lead with a coaching approach, enhancing engagement, productivity, and retention. Leaders foster employee self-awareness and independence, guiding them to find their own solutions. Built on research-backed coaching skills, CLP focuses on building trust, facilitating impactful conversations, and achieving results. This style empowers employees to grow and flourish under supportive leadership. The Coaching-Based Leadership Program (CLP) prepares managers to use a coaching-based leadership style aimed at achieving higher employee engagement, productivity, retention and participation. Leaders who succeed with a coaching style enable employees to gain awareness and reflection, generate their own answers, require less control and directing, and have a desire to help them develop and flourish (Berg and Karlsen, 2016). CLP uses literature and research related to a professional coach’s skills, the leader- as- coach, and managerial coaching, in order to identify six core coaching-based leadership skills classified into three dimensions: In these sessions, leaders develop skills for impactful communication, using powerful questions and active, empathetic listening to unlock employee potential. Leaders learn to frame questions that spark reflection and regulate their own emotional responses to maintain curiosity. This dimension emphasizes the art of non-reactive listening and provides techniques for managing emotional triggers, ensuring conversations are productive and compassionate. This dimension focuses on achieving concrete outcomes. Through goal setting and feedback techniques, leaders guide employees to define actionable goals and build accountability. Participants gain strategies for navigating challenging conversations, setting GAP (Goals, Actions, Plans), and providing constructive feedback that supports growth without compromising psychological safety. Each dimension equips leaders with essential tools to foster a culture of trust, growth, and accountability.
