Leaders and Managers who cannot or don’t want to coach others will always lead to a poor work culture. Building high performing teams requires focused effort.
Your team members are looking for guidance. Your judgement matters. Your trust in them builds their confidence. At the heart of it everyone wants to feel like they matter. That their work matters. For that we need leaders who understand the value of giving people their attention.
CONFLICT 🥊 Do leaders & managers have to juggle their own workload and also coach their associates. This is where the ball gets drop because it sounds like developing others is a nice to do and not a core leadership activity that needs to be monitored.
Here is a breakdown that we recommend to leaders. 17 hours a week for personal deliverables. 12 hours dedicated to group or one on one coaching activities which can include teaching new skills or providing feedback or On the Job coaching. Another 12 hours for decision making and stakeholder connections. While there may periods where this balance is hard to manage, it’s useful to work towards it.
The evidence for developing a Player—Coach culture amongst leaders and managers needs to be your core strategy if you want to retain talent, foster psychological safety and get real time feedback from your team.
