Rethinking Managerial Roles
Managers are often viewed as primary coaches who can guide employees in their career development. However, their actual incentives may primarily focus on achieving company results instead of fostering individual career growth. While well-managed companies prioritize clear outcomes, these may not align with an employee's personal career aspirations. This disconnect emphasizes the need for employees to seek multiple sources of coaching and actively engage with their managers regarding growth discussions.
