AB  - In the current economic climate, companies are increasingly
realizing that their management style has to change.
“Downsizing” has resulted in less opportunities for
promotion and managers must be able to motivate their staff and enable
them to develop in their jobs. The existing management paradigm focuses
heavily on control, order and compliance, with the consequence that
people become objectified, measured and expended. Looks at the manager
as coach and explores the importance and benefits of creating a strong
relationship between manager and employee, what makes a good manager and
the cultural changes necessary within an organization to bring this
about successfully. The importance of staff empowerment is discussed and
the argument put forward by experts Evered and Selman that coaching
skills are not just part of the range of tools that a manager must have
at his or her disposal, but are more important than any other management
skills.
