INTRODUCTION

Organizations achieve sustainable performance when managers actively develop people rather than focusing only on immediate tasks. Effective coaching helps employees understand expectations, recognize strengths, address gaps, and take ownership of their development. Talent development requires consistent conversations supported by evidence, trust, structure, and meaningful follow-up. Managers must distinguish coaching from directing, advising, mentoring, counseling, and formal performance management.
