“Can I coach if I’m the boss?”

The short answer is yes. But only if you are clear, intentional, and capable. If you are an administrator, a supervisor, or anyone who is responsible for evaluation and also wants to take a coaching stance, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

• The Art of Coaching Workshop
• The Art of Coaching Teams Workshop

Opportunities for continued learning:

• Artful Design and Facilitation Workshop

Reflection Questions:

• How clear are you—and your team—on the different stances you take as a boss and a coach? Where might more transparency around your role or intentions strengthen trust and clarity?
• Think of a recent conversation with someone you supervise. What stance did you take? In hindsight, was it the most effective stance for that moment? Why or why not?
• What internal shifts might you need to make to fully embrace coaching as part of your leadership identity? How could redefining “boss” to include coaching change the way you lead?
