A team member, Alex, approaches you for guidance. Alex has been a consistent performer but has recently taken on a new role that involves managing a small team. They are struggling with delegation and team motivation. Alex respects your experience and wants to learn from your insights but also wants to explore their strengths and weaknesses, understand their team better, and develop their own leadership style.

For Alex’s situation, which of the following is the most appropriate approach?

Answer explanation:
Coaching would be the most appropriate approach for Alex's situation as it is a more holistic approach that helps individuals explore their strengths and weaknesses, develop self-awareness, and find their solutions.

While mentoring involves sharing personal experiences and guidance, and training typically involves teaching specific skills or knowledge. Counseling generally focuses on resolving psychological or emotional issues, which doesn't seem to be the primary need in this scenario.

Finally, consulting typically involves an expert providing professional advice or solutions, but Alex is looking to develop their own leadership style rather than implementing an external expert's strategies. Therefore, coaching is the best fit for Alex's needs.
