Do your managers lack in -
• appropriate questioning instead of prescribing solutions
• constructive feedback
• assisting with goal setting
• effective listening skills
• identifying and working with employee strengths
• alignment of individual & organisational values
• perspective, ie, understanding the challenges. It takes longer initially to manage in this way, but it is quicker in the long run because teams are more able to manage themselves. Managers can then focus on more strategic issues instead of getting lost in dealing with day-to-day issues.
