Jaime Roca is Senior Vice President at Gartner, managing the global Research & Advisory team, and is the co-author The Connector Manager: Why Some Leaders Build Exceptional Talent – and Others Don’t.

Jaime shares with Kevin the types (or approaches) to coaching and what they found to be most and least effective.
In this episode, Jaime breaks down 1. The 4 styles of coaching. 2. 3 reasons why the “always-on” method doesn’t work. 3. 3 types of connections.
