Managing teams has evolved far beyond issuing commands and checking results. Today, successful managers are also effective coaches. Studies show that a team led by a coaching-oriented manager can experience productivity boosts equivalent to adding a new team member. This shift from a “command and control” style to a coaching approach requires managers to support growth, encourage open communication, and create a psychologically safe environment.
This is why we're introducing the Deeper Signals Team Effectiveness Toolbox — a complete library of resources designed to help managers lead more effective and self-aware teams. This toolbox offers everything a manager needs to manage and develop teams, without needing an external coach. Packed with practical insights, guides, and evidence-based workshop materials, the toolbox is a great asset for any manager wanting to impact their team’s dynamics.
