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?
