Description

Because of their expertise, team leaders and first line managers may be expected to help others develop similar levels of competence, which can include coaching individuals. This qualification is designed to develop the knowledge and skills required by team leaders and FLMs in undertaking this responsibility.

Coaching for team leaders and first line managers is defined as the process of enabling individuals to acquire the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to perform effectively in their occupational role by motivating, inspiring, challenging, stimulating and guiding them.
The coach must be able to recognise the needs of the individuals being coached, develop coaching programmes appropriate to meet those needs, and help individuals to achieve to their full potential.

All qualifications through the Institute of Leadership and Management are internationally recognised by employers.

The course tutor, Patricia Ward, has 20 years of experience as a senior manager in industry and has practised business coaching and mentoring with many local companies since 2004.
