Chapter 7 - Nurture Growth
Hearing the Detail
A musician uses headphones to hear all of the detail within the music so they can mix their instrument in with the others to create the best blend of sounds. Like headphones are used to interpret the nuances in music, a leader uses coaching techniques to interpret the nuanced developmental needs of their team-members. This allows the leader to create the right mix of activities to build capabilities and create a stronger team by blending the individual strengths together.
Nurture growth for continual development.

Coaching is constant and it’s never finished. There is always room for incremental growth and we must build a culture of continual improvement for our team.
