Manager as a coach
The managerial role requires knowledge and skills which cannot really be learned at school. The greater part of this learning process takes place as a result of our own positive and negative experiences, in which we utilize our own personal talent.
One of the characteristics of the managerial role is that beyond professional tasks, a great deal of leading skill is required. Misunderstanding and misinterpreting this role might result in superfluous efforts, continuous stress, and in the inability to adhere to deadlines.
In many cases, it is a problem that managers, after having been promoted, spend their time on the execution of tasks which they should not be dealing with as managers, and that, in turn, take their time away from tasks such as planning, making the employees accountable for their work, development of the employees, and motivation. The final result in such cases can be nothing but stress, bad prioritization, employees left feeling neglected, ad hoc managerial initiatives, and inconsistent management. But who could do these jobs instead of them? In many cases, we forget that our employees are there to help us - if they are well-educated and motivated. Thus, continuous development of the employees helps us complete our own tasks expediently.
Let’s ask ourselves whether we take all the necessary steps to ensure the development of our employees. Do we do our best to increase their loyalty and performance? If we do, do we approach our employees with the proper managerial style?
Do we have any idea what influences their performance?
This program teaches us to pay attention to those factors which remain hidden, but which determine the efficiency and success of our employees’ work. During the training course, the participants will get an overview of the basic factors determining managerial style, the requirements of continuous development, and the theoretical background of coaching in the managerial role.
