Employees can be a difficult group for you to manage. Every one of your employees are different and will be motivated differently. They also each respond to different management techniques. There are many different types of management styles. The buddy, Mr Cool and the micromanager are all examples. Although each type of manager has benefits and negatives, the most well rounded type of manager is the coach.

The coach doesn’t employ extreme management techniques like many of the others. For example Mr Cool always does what is best for them only and the micromanager picks apart every simple task. The coach doesn’t do either of these. Instead of doing what is best for them on a personal level, the coach will do what is in the best interest of the team. The coach also realizes that there are some tasks that don’t need to be managed. The coach gives responsibility and freedom to their employees for them to make educated choice.

One of the best traits of this type of manager lies in the way they interact with employees. If a small task goes undone, they won’t get on top of an employee for it. They will let it go and do what their name says, they will coach that employee up. The whole team of employees is benefited by this action. Employees will not be scared to fail. Each employee has confidence that their coach will show them why they failed and how to avoid it in cases of failures to complete tasks. This creates a team environment since each employee feels like they are crucial to the success of everyone.

Although it may seem like a perfect style, it is definitely not. Their management style may not be harsh enough for some employees. Some employees simply need to be reprimanded harshly. Coaches may also fail to give credit where credit is due since they are so focused on what the team is accomplishing. Creating a style that is a blend of the others is usually the best thing to do since there isn’t one single style that is going to work well for everyone all the time.
