Manager as Teacher is a learning strategy where managers view thernselves as teachers and
facilitators of the learning process. Each interaction is seen as a learning opportunity. Managers
are also aware that they serve as powerful role models for individual learning.
The manager as a teacher can use this role to;
- Consistently model the behaviours and skills that you want to see employees use.
- Set the tone for learning by taking calculated risks, acknowledging your own mistakes,
and openly discussing what you have learned.
- Understand that people learn by doing. When you are intending to teach something
through
- modelling, do it in a way that enables others to use the knowledge or practice the skill.
- Think of every interaction, meeting, job assignment, or event as a teaching opportunity.
Ask yourself: "What lessons can be learned?" "How can we apply these leSsons to future
situations?"
- Take advantage of "teachable moments." That is, opportunities where you can drive
home a learning point or reflect on a learning experience.
- Stay up-to-date on current organization and management approaches and technologies in
your field through professional seminars, conferences, trade journals, and professional
magazines.
