Abstract: Abstract I examined managers’ leadership skills for enhancing subordinates’ ability to learn from experience. Using data from an open-ended questionnaire given to middle managers (n = 51) at a Japanese manufacturer, I found that excellent managers with capabilities to develop their subordinates have the following leadership skills: they (1) help subordinates understand the meaning of tasks and goals, (2) accept proposals from subordinates, and (3) encourage subordinates to think and complete their tasks by themselves. The results suggest that excellent managers develop their subordinates by facilitating their “sense-making” and “knowing.”
