To be a better manager, one must coach employees to meaningfully contribute to business goals while achieving personal satisfaction. Great managers unleash potential through strong desire, intuition, coaching skills, and asking powerful questions rather than directives. Successful coaching requires genuine interest in employee growth and development; otherwise results will be mediocre. Asking "What else?" is a powerful and flexible question that encourages reflection during coaching conversations.

2. • Not all managers are cut from the same cloth,
but the best ones have the ability to coach
their employees to contribute meaningfully to
the business and achieve personal
satisfaction. Unfortunately, too many
managers fail on both accounts, often because
they haven't received proper training
themselves.

3. • Learning how to unleash the potential of
individual employees and teams is what
separates the middle-of-the pack managers
from the great ones. Being a great manager
requires strong desire, intuition, coaching
skills, dedication and -- above all else -- the
ability to restrain from telling employees what
to do and instead asking what I call "powerful
questions."

4. • It's important to remember that a successful
employee coaching conversation also requires
a genuine interest in the employee. This can’t
be faked. If managers aren’t interested in the
growth and development of others, then they
are likely going to be stuck with mediocre
results

5. As a bonus, a great manager always asks “What else?” in a coaching
conversation. This powerful question is so flexible it can be used at almost
any time and is incorporated often among the 12 powerful questions. It can
be difficult for employees to think of everything they want to say. The
question “What else?” gives them an opportunity to truly reflect and bring
additional thoughts to the surface
