Presentation synopsis

The Role of the Management Coach

(Catch them before they crash)

As a management consultant, I’ve been called in to dig out process problems, and deploy solutions. Too many times I’ve seen young enthusiastic managers scrabbling, juggling multiple fires, only to be left alone and crash.

Many of these managers are promoted based on their non management successes.  Senior managers interpret enthusiasm and success as being management capability. The manager is thrown into the fire, with little to no training. After many successes, these new managers are now failing. Discourage, they leave the field, never to return. Talent lost.

Root causes to this type of symptoms are not the incapability the new manager, but that of the manager was not supported, trained, coached and mentored into the position.

What we’ll cover in this discussion are:

  • Case studies of failures and success
  • Characteristics of the manager in trouble
    • Micromanaging
    • Hoarding
    • Poor communication
    • Alienation
  • Being an effective coach
    • Leadership
    • Skills Development
    • Communications
  • Finding your Coach
