How a Normal Manager Turned into a Very Effective Manager in Just a Few Weeks

By David Ferrers


The manager held a senior position in a finance company, but he had the reputation of being a "heads down" sort of a team leader who didn't enjoy going out of his officeunless he had to. It was almost like he was worried that if he left his office he would lose control of the stuff that he was battling to keep close to his chest.

This executive did not wish to walk about his department too regularly in case folks asked him questions about which he had no answers. As a result he had a tendency to be over-aggressive when people came to his office to see him. He was not in a good place.

Then one day one of his executives, Bill, suggested that he get some Business Coaching from an NLP Practitioner who had helped Bill in the past, when he worked for another company. Bill gave the senior manager these details - click here.

As soon as the boss met the NLP coach he straight away started to feel more in control. Here was a coach who had obviously held senior management positions himself and who glaringly knew his way around. It was a real relief for the senior manager to have the opportunity to pose questions and get useable answers. The business coach never created the feeling that his questions were dumb or naive.

It only took a couple of weeks of implementing new methods of doing things and of behaving in new ways before the difference was apparent to everyone. The senior manager started to delegate more, he walked round his department more frequently and actually spoke more with his team. He began to feel better within himself and actually felt more in control although he was giving more responsibility to the people he worked with. He said that he felt lighter and that he had more time to think. Actually he had become a thinker and a planner, instead of a reactor. The efficiency and profitability of his department increased obviously.
