A good leader should be a good coach as well. First let’s be clear about what leadership is fundamentally. Leadership is basically about showing others the direction to follow, mainly by getting somewhere first and setting an example. Coaching is a nice skill to have but leaders don’t have to have it and those who do aren’t necessarily good leaders. The strongest impact you can have on others is through being admired for what you do thereby motivating others to look up to you and want to follow your example.
