The Role of COOs in Leadership Development

COOs play a crucial role in developing their teams by delegating tasks effectively. The focus should be on growing the skills, confidence, and connections of their staff rather than getting bogged down in operational tasks. When COOs engage in routine tasks such as replying to emails, they hinder their ability to foster a productive team environment. This struggle often stems from a lack of delegation skills, which can be addressed through better coaching and leadership training.
