Recently a company replaced all its managers with “coaches.”
Why?
The employees wanted interactions/things like these below from their managers and apparently weren’t getting them:
- Goal setting
- Feedback
- Development opportunities
- Autonomy
Do those things look a lot like basic management functions to you?
They do to me …
There are some ways to easily build those things into already existing interactions like work assignments. Contact us to find out how.
P.S. It is also unclear who in the company will do the hiring, performance management, firing, etc. decisions normally done by “managers” …
