Research has indicated that busy managers are often so busy 'putting out fires' that they feel overwhelmed and therefore find it difficult to accomplish the strategic elements of their role. They frequently end up doing things themselves (even sometimes taking over operational tasks from direct reports) because they feel it is just easier and quicker than telling or showing someone else what needs to be done. And sometimes have little confidence in the competence and ability of staff to successfully problem solve or make effective decisions. Those who receive effective coaching develop increased awareness and are more prepared to take responsibility. In the longer term this develops qualities such as self belief and confidence which actually leads to improvements in competence (in those being coached). And therefore a reduction in stress for the coaching manger. This book provides practical ways for managers to develop the potential of those they manage by adopting a simple coaching approach.
