Managers as Teachers

Managers teach all day long. But how many managers have actually be taught how to teach their employees? Not many. Most managers are left to their own devices and their own teaching styles. "Tell 'em what to do; yell at 'em if they don't do it right" is a common teaching method in the workplace. But when you know a little bit about how people learn, you'll be better equipped to teach. Everyone learns differently so the more you know about how your employees learn and process information, the better teacher you'll become. And the better you teach, the better you'll manage. How well you teach and relate to your employees is evidenced in productivity and profit levels.
