They select managers, assign managerial and leadership work, measure their progress as managers and coach them. Pure management of their managers, their services and the holistic performance of their business. Successful performance in this key coaching role is fundamental for busting organisational silos and creating lateral organisations where performance takes precedence over format. Must begin to think beyond their own unit and connect their unit to the whole system they operate within and not be self-restricted to operating in one arena.* page 1
