Great leaders are great coaches, and great coaches use principles to distill truth. In this episode, we close out our series on the five characteristics of effective coaching with a conversation about four tactics for principle-based coaching. We talk through some practical examples of patterns we’ve turned into principles at Path for Growth. We also wrap up our conversation on coaching with a reminder that wisdom and nuance are essential characteristics for all leaders and coaches.
