Leaders as Teachers

If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.

"I've spent more than 10 years studying world class leaders…to determine what sets them apart from typical leaders. One big surprise was the extent to which these star managers emphasize ongoing, intensive one-on-one tutoring of their direct reports," wrote Sydney Finkelstein in the Harvard Business Review.
He goes on to explain: "The exceptional leaders I studied were teachers through and through. They routinely spent time in the trenches with employees, passing on technical skills, general tactics, business principles and life lessons. Their teaching was informal and organic, flowing out of the tasks at hand. And it had an unmistakable impact. Their teams and organizations were some of the highest performing in their sectors."

I visit my local McDonald's drive-thru quite often. On one visit I noticed a manager at the window working along side what seemed to be a new employee. This manager was provided on the spot coaching to this new employee. It prompted me to look further into the company's training strategies.
