I’m also sorry to say that others – your manager in particular – may not notice your potential for greater things either. You can’t expect your manager to know what you want for your career over the long or short haul. Work with a coach to develop an action plan based on what you find out. What is your goal?

I teach coaching skills to groups of managers regularly; every individual executive client I have gets taught coaching skills in some way or another; and of course, I practice coaching myself (I call it “practice” on purpose). One of the biggest pushbacks I get from those I teach almost always has to do with the time that coaching takes.

Managers who are the best at coaching are able to shine from the inside out. It’s their way of being that allows those they are coaching to make giant leaps; to transform and develop, to become the best at what they do. You can also substitute the words “manager&# and “teacher&# and “parent&# for the word coach.
