This image above explores the differences between an organizational structure with no managerial-leadership coaching and an Organizational Structure WITH managerial-leadership coaching.

The image on the right reflects the ‘Cascade-of-Planning’ model or Lean Manufacturing the Hoshin Kanri used in the Toyota Production System. The difference is where the manager and subordinate interact.

WITHOUT Coaching

• Interaction happens in limited time-frames and generally only when something goes wrong.
• Accountability is forced down the hierarchy, and the idea of failure, development, and growth is often frowned upon.
• Management is quick to blame employees and see the ‘people as broken.’

With Coaching

• Interaction is regular and expected. Once the manager is accountable for the subordinate’s output, then give-and-take must happen in task delegation and work being accomplished.
• Accountability is on the Manager to ensure that subordinates are working to their effectiveness. Improvement in decision-making and problem-solving leads to improved innovation and work of the team.
• Management can examine the process-system that the work is being done in and determine what stops this person from doing their best.
