Coaching works for teams and well as the individuals on a team. With a solid, repeatable approach, a coach can help project teams and work groups achieve better communication and higher performance - faster.

In this third part of a conversation with Emily Doyle of the Surefire Way, we discuss the importance of honesty in the workplace. Brief, clear and honest feedback is a hallmark of the best leaders - and it's an honesty that doesn't have to be painful if you create an environment of trust and respect.

As a leader how do you handle feedback? Do you hear it and assume that you can interpret what it means? Most of the time, leaders get that part wrong, and would benefit from a thorough review to find out what they are really doing - and how that impacts their team. This is the first of three conversations with Emily Doyle, a career HR leader who brings a CHRO sensibility to her work with small and mid-sized companies.
