Coaching for Managers
You are not born a manager, you BECOME a manager
It is extremely challenging to be a manager. A manager has to deal with multiple responsibilities, lead one or several teams, make strategic decisions, manage budgets and company’s goals. I often hear people say that managers don’t know how to communicate with their teams, that they have difficult employees or that he doesn’t know how to solve the conflict. To be a good manager, it’s important to develop leadership skills, to be empathetic, to know how to motivate, inspire & empower people towards the same goal. For some people, these skills are natural, for others it’s not at all natural. A coaching for manager is an excellent way to acquire some of these skills & tools to become a better manager.
