A manager is a mentor and coach

The most prominent factor that cause the stress to the Human Capital and human being in general, is the to dwell on the past bad experience. An inability to solve a certain intricate task may haunt an employee and wield strain which further reduces performance. An employee is expected to perform within a given deadline and still unable to complete a first task of the series of tasks needed to be done, may start to undergo stress levels. In most cases, employee fails to inform a manager in time about inability to perform. The main reasons are: (1) he/she wants to prove to a manager that he/she is worthy doing it, (2) his/her appointment to a position was a good decision, (3) he/she wants to earn trust.

However, a manager does not want a proof that employee was a good choice to take a position. A manager wants outcome which will assist a business to achieve its strategic objectives. A manager is prepared to assist an employee to learn and grow.  Coaching and mentoring an employee is the principal function of a good manager. If an employee repudiate this salient request by a manager to coach and mentor him/her, he/she deprives a manager for his/her duty. What else a manager should do when a subordinate refuses manager's assistance.
