Leader coach

Successful companies are now those in which people learn new skills and habits from each other, and in which managers and leaders are also coaches.

A new breed of leader is called for—a breed with a broader repertoire of management styles:

• sometimes ‘hands-on’ and sometimes ‘hands-off’, as suits the occasion;
• delegates appropriately;
• believes that
  1. if you invest just ten minutes in coaching someone who reports to you, it will later save you an hour; and
  2. you also help yourself when you help others to perform more strongly.
