Every new manager has that moment. After the promotion or new hire into a management role, they’re responsible for leading their team in accomplishing company goals. And they ask themselves, “Now what?”. The reality is, managers have one job – to find and train their replacement. When managers are focused on their job, they hire the best talent, train for success, coach for high performance, and retain employees.

When was the last time you appreciated an employee ? When Emily says “Great job Phil!” to her direct report, that might make his day (and have Emily feel great, since sharing gratitude is proven to make those on the giving end also feel happier).

The best managers are coaches. But one commonality of coaches is that they deliver bad news with grace — as a result, their reports do not become frustrated or feel unappreciated, but instead find they want to do even better based on the constructive feedback. Of the many tips around how to deliver corrective feedback well, doing it in-person is perhaps the most important. “Companies are now recognizing a huge skill gap in the ability to confidently and comfortably coach in person.

When business leaders are asked to name their biggest asset, what do you think most would pinpoint? Their answers could easily range from product to property, or the customer base. While these are all correct answers, the only true answer in my opinion is – employees. At the end of the day, your workers on the frontline ensure that customers are serviced well and the business continues to tick over, meeting the expectations of senior management, CEOs and stakeholders alike.
