Why Coaching is a Great Learning and Work Resource for Developers

Passionate software developers never stop learning and collaborating. The curiosity that comes with being a developer means solving problems quickly and more creatively and it means constant adaptation to new tech.

At some point in time, most developers will make a move into a more formal leadership role. It’s a tough transition, wondering if you can stay technical as a leader. And leaders are faced with new problems…..problems that involve sorting out conflict between staff, managing those who are under performing or can’t keep up with the pace of work, and trying to influence executives.

Coaching is a problem-solving tool. It supports leaders who are looking for support to solve process problems within an organization and resolve personnel problems within their team which improves your day-to-day experience at work.

*Some areas where coaching supports developers who are leaders are:
*

  • Providing them with a time and space to discuss leadership challenges with a thinking partner who is objective
  • Reduces the loneliness that comes with being alone at the top of team
  • Rely less on your manager to develop solution
  • Enhance your skills as a communicator which can elevate your career and your staff’s careers.
