Docpotter explains that  while many managers strive to be liked, "nice guys" make bum bosses because they are often vague in their directives and withhold feedback that employees need to improve.  Drill instructor-type managers make better bosses because employees know where they stand and what is expected, but they don't create a team.  Managers who funciton like coaches make the best bosses because they develop their staff as individuals and as a team so that they can peformance at their peak.

In GET PEAK PERFORMANCE Docpotter offers a simple but powerful model for integrating coaching into everyday management responsibilities.  TASC Plus is a step-by-step process for conveying performance expectations and providing feedback on progress towards achieving them, as well as for negotiating future performance goals and providing reinforcing acknowledgement for on-tasc performance.
