Managers and other senior leaders would use new ideas to put the chaos back into some order that turned out to be more effective and efficient. It made the complacent senior staff members become more active managers. At some point order needs to ensue. Was this the case with this situation, or was it always chaotic?

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. You need to talk to your manager about your career plans and if he can help you with career growth.

Things are flowing as they should, there is some fun in the work you do, and your stakeholders are also enjoying each other (i.e. there isn’t the whining and complaining about each other that makes a workplace miserable).

Often what it comes down to is that their manager is not willing to wait for the time it takes my client to make some changes to their leadership. In one notable situation, my client’s manager was fired while my client was on a path to being fired by that same manager. Have you asked what this person needs to be successful?

180 Coaching Others: Short Term Pain for Long Term Gain

JUNE 15, 2010
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). I wonder what people think “management&# is about when they get promoted? And how true.

By saying “no”, you free up your time for the things that are most important: creating an inspiring vision, coaching and developing others, being available to those who need your guidance.

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.

Although there may be special learning needs for this group (just like there might be special learning needs for first line supervisors or middle managers) – when those at the top of the organization deny or hide their learning behind a wall of invincibility, it can create a dilemma – or damage – in the rest of the organization.
