SIX most feared consequences of a manager becoming the Coach or Mentor

1.   Time & income loss

"I'm already stretched - how will I find the hours to understand each of my group's personal issues. I won't get my own work done and will lose income".

2.   Lack of skills and confidence

"I'm not trained in coaching/teaching or mentoring - I feel uncomfortable with some people".

3.   Leaders solve problems not coaching people

"My skills are in solving the big issues and dealing with problems - not sitting down with people to see their issues". 

4.   Acceptance by all

"How can I offer them impartial support when there are company goals to follow? I'm not able to find neutral language, patience and focus required to solve individual problems - this must be a conflict of roles".

5.   Losing power and prestige

"If relationships are so important to coaching - then I'm worried about losing control and becoming one of them".

6.   Few training skills

"How can I learn the skills of mentoring? - there are no role models in our organisation".
