Why Every Manager Needs a Coach

Your first line and middle managers are the backbone of your organization. If a manager is struggling:

He takes down his project, and delays other projects
He puts your overall schedule in danger.
His staff become demoralized and are more likely to quit
His problems can spread to his peer managers.

When Do Managers Need Help?

It's every engineer's fondest dream and worst nightmare: to be promoted out of the safe, familiar world of building products into the fluid, exciting, but frightening world of managing. Unfortunately, too many promising engineers are pushed into leadership roles with little or no training and nowhere to turn for support or information. You can read some of the consequences of ignoring your new managers in this paper published in the Harvard Business Review.
