Lead Like a Coach

There have been many approaches to leadership over the years, from command and control to more inclusive styles. Some leaders micro-manage, others are quick to delegate. It is hard for new leaders who are perhaps just starting to manage a team to find the right approach. And equally hard for more experienced leaders who would like to be more approachable and supportive.
