Relational coaching improved confidence and commitment among leaders in long-term care, suggesting better team practice outcomes.
A relational coaching intervention in long-term care (LTC) studied leaders' self-perceptions and behaviours as champions of applying learning in team practice. A developmental evaluation design incorporated an appreciative inquiry framework with 29 leaders from 10 LTC homes using Team Essentials education. A positive influence on confidence and commitment indicators was found, and key leader behaviours were identified. Goal-directed, relational leadership coaching in LTC supports team practice improvement and is accelerated by the implementation of relational leadership practices. Using relational coaching can improve teams' experiences and outcomes of applying learning in practice.
