Situational Leadership vs. Coaching: The Key Difference

The difference between situational leadership and coaching. Situational leadership is the decision making that a leader takes to decide what style of leadership to use. One of the styles is coaching. One of the styles is problem solving. One of the styles is just tight delegation. One of the styles is really just kind of hands off and letting them run with it. Coaching itself is the ability to teach someone, to get them to find out where their weak spots are, getting them to praise themselves. It's about giving feedback around certain skills. So coaching is the skill of teaching and developing and growing someone in a specific area.
