Manager & Coach : A Savoir Etre

I delivered a presentation earlier this week about Coaching in Disruption, at the AICPA-CIMA* Virtual Annual Conference “FP&A and Finance Transformation”. I shared several ideas, like adopting a Manager – Coach behaviour, as a possible way to better address the current challenges.
Being a Manager & Coach may sound paradoxical.  But in an environment driven by complexity and permanent transformation, the Heroic Leader is dead. Nowadays no one can pretend to know everything, everywhere, anytime and to seriously lead the show. Shot dead, by uprising generations calling for strong values at work, for diversity and empowering management styles.
Resource and solutions will come from people and from the situation we are in, with our guidance and framing; The Manager – Coach creates and promotes the right conditions to foster ideas and initiatives, empower people and enable their growth.
More than a “know-how”, deploying Coaching or Management techniques, more than a set of skills, this is a “Savoir Etre”.
