A big part of being an effective manager is developing your team. To do that, a manager needs to know how to onboard and train new employees, coach experienced employees, and eventually, mentor employees.

Of course, to be considered for an opportunity to train new employees, it’s a given that you’d need to be very good at your job, or whatever it is that you’re teaching. Beyond being good at something, it’s important to learn and practice the skills of training, coaching, and mentoring. The best way to learn is by doing! Volunteer to develop a training program; volunteer to mentor underprivileged kids or coach a sports team. Learn the art of coaching.
