The document discusses situational coaching as an effective tool for lean leadership. Situational coaching aims to provide a supportive environment for leaders to reflect on their behaviors and develop their skills. It involves identifying potential coaches within an organization who receive training and support to then coach others. This cascaded coaching model spreads coaching across an organization to develop lean leadership behaviors at all levels.
