Why coach? Out of selfishness as much as philanthropy.

Investing ten minutes in coaching will save an hour.

A coach aims to:

enhance the performance and learning ability of others;
helps people to help themselves;
builds trust in the coaching relationship—a powerful way to do this is to disclose something of your own strengths, weaknesses and experiences;

As a great coach, you:

create more time for yourself and others—working the skill will matrix with your people, you will in the position to delegate more;
enjoy the fun of working with a band of colleagues who actually relish working with you;
achieve better results with your stable team more quickly;
build your interpersonal skills more broadly—which often means you interact and relate better with those around you: family, friends, customers, vendors.

Facts:

the number of enlightened leaders seems to be much greater than people normally think;
many people have found these techniques also help them talk better with their customers—not just with their own teams; and
the coaching tool kit seems to be relevant well beyond the mere corporate world.

A coaching leader takes coaching a step further.

Person being coached by a coach. Closely related to mentor.
