I spent over 20 years working in management where I managed a staff of 10 people. I wish I had been offered an Executive Coach like some of the Executives had been.
As a Certified Personal and Executive Coach, I feel Middle Management is often forgotten and missing the benefits of coaching. They experience the same issues as Executives, but on a different level. They are managing a team, juggling timelines to complete projects, have specific goals they must achieve, report to upper management, and experience work-life issues they need to balance.
Middle Managers need a safe space where they can discuss their challenges and goals confidentially and without judgement. This is where coaching comes into play.
Providing coaching to Directors, Managers and Team Leads enhances their performance, morale, and confidence, which is a Win-Win for them and their company.
That’s why Middle Management matters.
