Managing vs. Coaching

A lot of managers think their job duties match exactly to their title—managing. Virtual managers generally do well enough when it comes to responding to issues, managing day-to-day operations within their team, and coordinating projects. However, for remote managers, simply managing employees is not enough to build a strong working relationship and create a culture of high engagement and high performance.

Success or failure rests firmly on the way these managers approach their roles. Truly great managers don’t just manage; they also coach their employees. Coaches are true leaders, and excellent coaches can adeptly transform a good team into a great team. Coaches are an inspiration for their team, providing vision and innovation to help elevate the team and its performance to whole new levels. Coaches also develop meaningful relationships with their employees that help to show they care about the employee and make every effort to enhance his or her personal job engagement. These special coaches know that putting the “human” back in human capital management yields enormous dividends. Thus, in order to truly maximize this driver of engagement, virtual managers must care, coach, and coordinate—the ultimate triumvirate for management success.
