People - Coaching For Profits

"Great coaches consistently get the most out of the their people, because they consistently put the most in to their people."

- Brian Souza


After 40 years in various leadership roles I finally got it. I promise clients More Time, More Money and a Better Team and I now know the secret to making that happen. Become a coach vs. a manager.

The differences:

Managers
Coaches
Focused on getting the results - drag them along if I have to
Focused on the individual people and helping them get better - thus the company gets better
Recruit only when they need someone - settle with what they have
Recruit all the time, like they market, build a Virtual Bench
Hold annual or quarterly reviews
Weekly Coaching Conversations - 10-15 minutes with a score card dashboard
Open door for all questions
Open Door- But no questions - come to me with what your Intend to do....
Staff meeting - hour or two long
Weekly huddles, Dashboards, Goal tracking, Value communications
No Purpose, Value or culture or if they have it is on a sign somewhere
Communicating and engaging all employees with the Purpose, Values all the time

I put together this 40 minute presentation to cover all of this, provide you with proof it works and the tools to use to make it work. Please watch and then I hope you see the logic in setting aside time every week to begin coaching.

Labor is the biggest expense on your P&L and is the biggest lever to profit. Invest time and focus on coaching and you will get a great return on that investment - the secret is that you cannot find a better investment in any business than in following the processes described here and focusing on your people, your team.

More Time, More Money and a Better Team.
