Coach Approach - Fife Health and Social Care Partnership
Created: 10/01/2025Coach Approach is simply a way to have a different type of conversation with someone. It may be used in one-to-one conversations, such as supervision, or to support team building, group work or in conversations with the people we are supporting and in our communities. It encourages active listening and an open and enabling style of communication that encourages everyone to feel they can participate more.
Why is it being promoted in Health and Social Care?
Importantly for Health and Social Care, the coach approach, as well as being useful in many situations, supports their drive towards developing effective systems of leadership across the Partnership. Systems leadership, as described by NES in their ‘Developing Senior Systems Leaders’ programme is “…how you lead across boundaries (departments, organisations, sectors) and how you lead when you're not in charge and you need to influence others.” Therefore, in such a diverse organisation as the Health and Social Care Partnership, using a coach approach is integral to their success in embedding systems leadership.
Who is it for?
