You're not the manager here. You're the coach.

Before the next change goes out, step off the office floor and onto the touchline. Your favourite rugby or soccer coach reads the squad before every big match. What would you notice if you read your team the same way?

Why look at your people this way?

Seeing your team as a coach does isn't the soft option. It's how coaches win finals.

You can't play the match for them

A strategy is only as good as the people who have to run it. The coach doesn't score the tries. The team does.

Tired legs show before lost games

A coach reads the players, not only the scoreboard. Fatigue and quiet withdrawal show up long before missed targets do.

Training and match day are different

Is your team still building the skills for this change, or are they already on the field living it? Each needs a different conversation.

Same moment, two views

Pick a moment you might be facing. Then look at it from the office, and from the touchline.
