3 Controversial Ways to Get Your Managers Coaching

3 Controversial Ways to Get Your Managers Coaching | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
If you’re committed to helping your managers coach but the actual practice of coaching hasn’t stuck, try these surprising tips.
Barry Deutsch's insight:

73 percent of managers had some form of coaching training, but only 23 percent of people being coached (fewer than one in four!) thought that the coaching had a positive effect on their job. That statistic stinks! Employees want to be coached like a championship team - if you can't provide it - they'll go somewhere else to get it.

Employee engagement’s little-known benefit: it’s contagious | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
There are many benefits of employee engagement, but there’s one benefit that isn’t as well known - employee engagement is contagious!
Barry Deutsch's insight:

Engagement is contagious. However, when so few of your employees are engaged, it's hard to build a momentum of contagious engagement. When you have more engaged employees, their energy, enthusiasm, passion spreads like wildfire.

Google Spent 2 Years Studying 180 Teams. The Most Successful Ones Shared These 5 Traits | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
Insights from Google's new study could forever change how teams are assembled.
Barry Deutsch's insight:

Interesting practical research by Google on team research that extends into why people enjoy working in a company or with a particular team. This article focuses on teams - but could actually be an article about retention. Notice the points about work being meaningful to each person, and that it matters to others. This goes all the way back to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and basic motivation.

Barry Deutsch's insight:

I loved this article headline. Do you have managers in your organization who were great "doers" - thus you promoted them to oversee other "doers"? The problem is that they are "accidental managers" and are draining your productivity, not to mention a number of other terrible ills they inflict upon your organization. What are you doing about fixing the problem of accidental managers - folks you are supervising the bulk of your employees and have no right to be in a managerial role?

Very few companies do a great job recognizing and rewarding individual and team performance. I liked this article because it reinforces some very simple ideas about recognition.
