Leader as a Coach: Impact on Employee’s Commitment- Lean & Six Sigma World Co...Jorge Covacs
by Jorge Covacs, Consultant (Brazil)
Research has found that the satisfaction of basic human needs in the workplace can increase the chance of success for the organization.
Engaged employees result in increased productivity, and this engagement depends on the existence of emotions such as joy, interest and care, good relationships among employees, and appreciation for their jobs. The presentation discusses what it takes to have a committed team with optimized performance: support of the manager, clarity on job tasks, diversity of tasks, and autonomy.
All of these elements depend largely on the manager, who should treat their staff fairly and with dignity. From the climate dimensions as developed by Kolb and the social motives, proposed by McClelland, key guidelines will be presented for managers in order to provide suitable support for team members.
Lately, it seems that process became trendier than core leadership skills. Agile, Scrum, Kanban stole the focus.
BUT - it is leadership that fuels process adoption rather than process auto-magically fixing disfunction teams.
In this talk we'll explore what went wrong in this process adoption race: from hiring or promoting the wrong people, avoid setting clear expectations from our leaders, to dropping lean practices due to lack of deep understanding (forgetting why we started to begin with).
The dark side is interesting to explore, but we are here for the bright light - we will bring the FOCUS back to how we want our leadership to look like.
We'll try to figure out how we want our leaders to look like in the "Agile era"

Here are 7 out of 12 tips on how to be a better leader at work. For 5 more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/how-to-be-a-better-leader/.
1. Lead By Example
It has been proven that leaders should show, not only say. Therefore, if you want your staffs to be punctual and principled, you ought to be the first person who follows the rules. You should always be at work on time, or even early. If you appreciate professionalism, dress for success, as well as, treat your staffs with courtesy. When you have a good tone, your staffs will respect you, and consider you a good example to follow.
2. Add In A Little Humility
Humility is a good quality that a leader should have. When you are humble, you will see others’ good points to respect them. Being modest will also help you conquer your ego if you are a hot-temper person. This will help prevent you from scolding or shouting when your staffs do something wrong. If you have a little humility, your staffs and customers will look up to you, as well as, feel safe and reliable when working with you.
3. Learn From Your Team
You should not think that you know all no matter how knowledgeable you are. A wise leader is the one who can learn from others. Everyone has something good for us to learn from. Thus, do not think that the people who are at lower positions than you at work have nothing for you to discover. Learn something new from your staffs each day to be better informed on making strategic decisions.
4. Share What You Learned
Besides learning from your staffs, you should also share what you have learned outsides to them. This will help your team know more about the market and work better to meet its demand. Passing the lessons you learned to your staff is one way to help your team avoid pitfalls.
5. Communicate Effectively
If you are a leader, you should learn to communicate effectively with your staffs. Good communication will not only help you understand your employees and build a good relationship with them, but also help you catch up on the important information on the market so as to change your trading strategies to meet its demand. Great leaders should not only be understood and heard, but also listen as communication is like a two-way street.
6. Keep Meetings Productive
In order to keep meetings productive, you should make it short by going straight to the main purpose rather than talking around it. Everything presented in the meetings should be clear and well prepared.
7. Understand Your Limits
No matter how kind you are, being a leader, you should have your own limits. Set your own boundaries to your staffs, and let them know what you will not tolerate so as to make them try their best in difficult case; otherwise, they may quit easily.
There is no “I” in the team; everything is “We”. A person can be a member of a team but they can’t be a team on their own. A team consists of more than one individual person. Doing a business requires a team. This book is one of the books in series of "Smart Business" that teaches you how to build a team in three steps. You will also learn the benefits of team building, how to maintain it, and evaluate its performance.
Team coaching: For the force that drives most organizationsLearningade
Teams and team coaching are the forces driving most organizations. Hence, it is important for a manager to lead by coaching his or her to perform effectively. This presentation shares some key fundamental tips to team coach toward successful performance .
Team-level agile is well established - at least in theory! Things that really should be commodity stuff by now - such as clear understanding and articulation of the essentials - shouldn’t vary massively from team to team. However, in practice, arguments rage between software development “experts” and teams on which process framework is best – e.g. Extreme Programming (XP) versus Scrum versus Kanban. Even though agile principles are clear that “no one should tell the team how to do their work”, in practice they are often told “Do Scrum” or “No, don’t do Scrum, do Kanban!”. The Agile Essentials eliminates these damaging and distracting conflicts by extracting the useful practice guidance from XP, Scrum, Kanban and other popular agile approaches, and presents it as a useful and usable set of practice cards that development teams can freely select, combine and adapt to help them work effectively as a team.

This chapter clarifies the traditional concept of Human Resources with Human Capital. Human Capital views people as assets for what knowledge and skills they bring to a company. While the term, Human Resources, seems like a synonymous definition with Human Capital, over the past few decades, HR has developed into a term used to describe the management of people. Human Capital, on the other hand, recognizes a business leader’s need to surround themselves with other knowledgeable people who possess experiences in specific areas of specialization to help their company succeed. In short, business managers manage projects, materials and time. Business leaders inspire and guide people.
