"In my previous role as a Sales Manager, I used a coaching leadership style when leading employees who were interested in pursuing management roles. With proper guidance and constant communication, I helped them identify the areas they were strong in and the areas that needed to be developed more when faced with challenges. They were very receptive to this approach because it is more collaborative and includes their input when making decisions. I also encouraged them along the way."
