Last
year, the Red Sox won just 69 games. This season, after a change in
management, they're heading to the World Series.
The
New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl four years ago, but after losing
their coach went just 7-9. That same coach is back and now they're 5-1,
legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
I use
these examples only because I read the sports pages first, but the other
headlines and stories will no doubt show me what I already know:
Coaching
matters.
If we want to grow our results...
If we want to grow our team...
If we want fewer fires in the future (because others are avoiding them – or
aren't able to manage them themselves)...
If we want the satisfaction of helping others succeed...
Then
we must invest time to coach.
Here's
the bottom line - as leaders we have the great opportunity (and
responsibility) to be coaches of others – to help them find and unleash
their potential, reach their goals and more.
So as
you go about your busy work day today, challenge yourself to think:
Who can I help develop
today?
What can I do
specifically?
And when will I get
started?
