How Coaching for Managers Improves Team Performance and Morale

Managers are the adhesive that connects teams and adds continuity to any organization. Managers’ influence as leader and their ability to inspire and communicate have an immediate and powerful impact on how employees feel and work together. This is why coaching for managers has become such a strong investment in organizational development aimed at enhancing team performance and team morale.

Coaching is distinct from training in that it is focused on real-time support, customized feedback, and personal growth. Coaching supports managers to stop just delegating tasks and conducting performance reviews, and begin to develop as leaders who are more empathetic and situated in a strategic process. When a manager is coached powerfully in the most meaningful ways, it allows for cascading effects and a positive work climate to emerge. Employees feel heard, supported, and increasingly confident in their role.

Coaching Builds Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence

Development of emotional intelligence is an essential part of the coach process for managers. In the coaching sessions, managers can see their emotional reactions, and how their reactions influence other people. They also begin to see their own communications and work on how to reflect back to the emotional needs of team members. This self-awareness of their emotions helps avoid confusion, promotes more healthy relationships at work, and enhances decision-making in high emotional states.

Coaching Strengthens Communication and Feedback Skills

Often teams fail to perform because of vague instructions, no feedback, or unresolved conflict. Career coaching allows managers to refine their communication style. Managers learn to provide feedback based on behavioral observations and have productive difficult conversations while simultaneously asking questions that further promote collaboration. The team will better understand expectations and the consequences of unacceptable behavior while opening the floor for team members to speak up when something is wrong.

Boosting Morale Through Positive Leadership

A manager's attitude and leadership style contribute to a team's culture. Coaching encourages managers to be positive, authentic and predictable. When employees view a leader who "walks the walk" and invests in their own development it encourages morale. People tend to be less disengaged and unmotivated when they belong to a team led by someone who they trust and believes is transparent.

Driving Performance Without Burnout

High performance does not have to sacrifice well-being and coaching can support managers in finding that balance. With support, managers learn how to effectively delegate, prioritize the workloads of their team, and create boundaries to reduce burnout. A well-coached manager provides an atmosphere where productivity and well-being can marry. This can be advantageous for everyone on the team.
