Success Problem

Is there any difference between coaching and managing?

Impact

Yes, it is. A manager has control of an institution, business, etc., or of its part. A manager controls and manipulates resources and expenditures. A coach is focused on developing people. A coach does not position himself or herself as superior, but more as a facilitator of success.
