Why do we, as leaders, often feel compelled to have all the answers? Balancing our personal identity with our managerial responsibilities can be challenging. The most effective leaders take on the role of a coach—asking questions, guiding their teams to find solutions, and stepping in with support when necessary.

It’s tempting to offer quick answers, reinforcing the leader’s role, but this approach doesn’t encourage team growth, a strong culture, or organisational capability. Seeking help to achieve this balance isn’t a weakness—it’s a skill like any other. Not all managers are natural leaders, and not all leaders are born, but they can be developed through coaching.

If you’d like support in building this skill, I can guide you through the coaching process. Together, we can work to create stronger, more capable teams.
