When the manager you're coaching resents you being there

I've coached plenty of managers who took the help and grew. But there's this one who crosses his arms the second I walk in, like I'm there to expose him. I leave those sessions doubting everything, replaying his little digs in my head on the drive home.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You can help most managers grow, but the ones who resist or resent you leave you shaken.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
