And Why Great Coaches Don’t Put Michael Jordan at Bat 

Top Workplaces managers are effective because they coach more than they supervise. They understand the importance of getting to know employees as individuals. And they know what motivates them both on — and off — the job.

And What They Should Do Differently to Achieve Better Results

Rather than simply leading and directing the work of employees, today’s managers can — and should be — the catalyst who accelerates the application of learning and behavior change. When managers coach individuals in this way, they bring out the best in their people, they match employee interests to organizational needs — and they’re better able to unlock potential and inspire performance.

How Top Workplaces Have Redefined the Manager Role

In today’s world, employees need to understand how their work contributes to broader organizational goals. They need to identify problems and opportunities, think creatively, and develop new ways to make things better. And all of this requires managers to coach more than supervise, becoming a catalyst to bring about and accelerate continual learning and innovation.
