Go From Manager to Multiplier: Unlock Your Team's True Potential

Are you frustrated with having the same performance conversations over and over again with an employee you know has potential? Do you struggle to find the right words to provide feedback that motivates instead of demotivates? In today's workplace, the most effective leaders aren't just managers who assign tasks; they are coaches and mentors who build capability. The problem is, no one ever shows you how to do this effectively.

This course is designed to fill that gap. We move beyond generic advice and provide you with a practical, actionable toolkit. Our core methodology is based on proven frameworks, such as the GROW model for structuring coaching conversations and the "POP" model for delivering feedback. These aren't abstract theories; they are step-by-step guides that take the guesswork out of developing your people. You'll learn not just what to say, but what to ask, and how to guide your employees to discover their own solutions.

Through a running case study, you'll see these concepts applied in a realistic business setting, allowing you to understand the nuances of each situation. Each module closes with a quiz to ensure you've mastered the core concepts and a practice exercise you can apply immediately on the job. By the end of this course, you'll feel more confident and competent in your ability to handle any developmental challenge your team faces.
