Coach Your Team - Don't Manage It

"People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds. It is something one creates."

 

-- Thomas Szasz, Psychiatrist

That's right - we all need to wake up to the fact that the old beliefs about managing people in business are just not very effective. We need to learn to coach them. Coach and lead the business like a great professional sports team. No more, annual reviews, no more focus only on the numbers and push and cajole the team to achieve them. Instead focusing on having the best talent in every position and focus on making each individual the best they can be. Focus on coaching in practice, not managing i.e. showing people how to do things in the heat of the game.  

Listen to this 5 minute audio, which is Part 2 of how to build a team of people who are accountable for results - not just for being busy.  

(If you missed it last week, Part One is Stop Answering Questions. Check it out here.) 

All the best,
