Summary:
As Kacy Dillon, the Divisional Director, hurried through the office, she paused momentarily at Ian Brechin's desk, offering a quick "thumbs-up" and a "Great job, Brechin, you did well!" before dashing off to her next meeting. Ian, bewildered by the praise, wondered if it was sarcastic given his struggles with a new computer system, which he’d just crashed for the third time that morning. Or was she applauding his success in closing a major deal with the company’s largest client? Hopefully, it was the latter.

Article Body:
In the bustling office, Kacy Dillon, the Divisional Director, briefly stopped at Ian Brechin's desk, flashed a "thumbs-up," and said, "Great job, Brechin, you did well!" then hurried off to her next meeting. Ian was puzzled. He was having trouble with a new computer system and had just crashed it for the third time. Was Kacy being sarcastic, or was she acknowledging the significant deal he’d closed with the company’s largest client? Hopefully, it was the latter.
In workplaces, managers often act like spectators: distant and disconnected. Imagine them at a sports event, munching on hot dogs, sipping beer, and criticizing players from the stands. This behavior highlights the stark contrast between a 'manager as a coach' and a 'manager as a spectator.'
A coach works closely with each team member, helping them overcome challenges and grow. Coaches understand how personal circumstances, like health or family, impact performance. Most importantly, coaching is consistent and ongoing. It’s about building relationships and understanding each player's strengths and weaknesses long before any pressure arises.
The Language of Coaching
Spectator managers speak in demands: "Do this, do that." There’s no room for discussion, experimentation, or, heaven forbid, failure. They seek immediate results.
In contrast, a coach speaks differently. They are integral to the team, sharing the field rather than observing from a plush office. Their language is inclusive: "How can we improve this? How can we achieve our goals more efficiently?" This fosters trust and collaboration, treating team members as equals rather than subordinates.
Ian’s colleague, Joanna Collins, offered help with the new computer system. "I've found some ways to avoid crashes. Let me show you," she said, adding, "We’re all proud of you for closing the Grossman deal. You’ll have to share your secrets with us." Ian smiled, recognizing the genuine value in Joanna’s praise compared to Kacy’s fleeting acknowledgment.
Coaching is about fostering recognition through meaningful interaction, creating a supportive environment where every team member thrives.
