Many times they have asked me what is the difference between a Manager and a Coach within a company. Without us stick to quite general definitions:-a
Manager is a person who leads the administrative management of an enterprise or institution; He is someone who manages processes and human resources to achieve specific results that are entrusted to him within the Organizat
ion-a Coach, on the other hand, is a person who, through the use of processes and mental models adequate, allows other individuals, teams or organizations, to reach the results that want to achi
eve. We could therefore make a distinction here, where a Coach is not necessarily a Manager, since he does not manage. To do so, you would have, or to have the skills of administrative management. Now, a
Manager arriving to acquire skills, abilities and mental models of a Coach may enhance immensely its management. Without a
doubt, future trends of Management will make that more and more managers would like to have "soft" skills and in this Coaching is still an excellent response to this demand.
