Coaching Skills for Managers

Korshub take

Most new managers are promoted for being strong individual performers, not for knowing how to coach a team — this intermediate specialization from UC Davis exists to close that gap. It's attracted more than 46,000 learners looking to trade command-and-control habits for real coaching technique.

Who it's for

Managers and team leads with some hands-on experience already, who are ready to go beyond generic leadership tips into the specific mechanics of coaching conversations, mentorship, and employee development.

Key takeaways

• Running coaching conversations that build capability, not just give instructions
• Mentorship and structured employee training and development
• Diagnosing and overcoming performance obstacles on a team

Because it's pitched at the intermediate level, it assumes you're already managing people and rewards that experience with more nuanced technique.
