We measure visionary leadership, are you inspired by the leaders vision? That has no impact. Like nothing. What
00:00:06
matters is leader coaching. And leaders who are high in coaching are really focused on improving employee
00:00:13
performance. They're giving feedback, they're giving suggestions of how to
00:00:17
perform better. They're monitoring and supporting employees like an athletic
00:00:22
coach in a lot of ways. And that coaching, you know, has ripple effects throughout the organization. Coaching is
00:00:27
great when employees feel like we need to improve our performance, we need to change. Coaching backfires and hurts
00:00:35
motivation, hurts performance when teachers are saying like, again, we're good here. We don't need this.
