Unlocking others' potential through powerful questions and accountability
1:1 coaching develops direct reports' problem-solving abilities vs mentoring (sharing experience). Core IC/manager skill at L2+. GROW model + accountability structures. 8-12 months deliberate practice moves from 'asks good questions' to 'coaches through resistance'.
Coaching differs from mentoring: rather than sharing your experience, coaching helps individuals discover their own answers through powerful questions, active listening, and accountability structures. The GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) is the foundation of professional coaching. Engineering managers, product leaders, and executives who master coaching skills build higher-performing teams because they develop people's problem-solving abilities rather than creating dependency.
