In my 30+ years consulting and coaching, I’ve learned that you can’t build a sustainably great company without a great leadership team. As a result, the powerful coaching framework I’ve developed to achieve breakthrough growth includes:
Mastering self leadership
We can’t lead others unless we are masters at leading ourselves. Here, you and your team will:
• Master your emotional states
• Leverage your natural talents
• Begin a journey of continuous improvement
Proactively structuring the leadership team for growth
To drive healthy, profitable growth, we can’t simply let our leadership team evolve over time. We need to plan and proactively structure the team. Here, you and your team will:
• Identify the key functions and accountabilities in your organization today
• Define specific, measurable outcomes for each function
• Create a 3-year plan to scale your leadership team into the future
Building a powerful leadership team culture
To create a business that has real impact, you need to have the right culture and employees who fit that culture. This culture starts with the leadership team and cascaded down through the organization. Here, you and your team will:
• Discover and live a set of non-negotiable core values
• Create a compelling vision for the organization
• Build vulnerability-based trust and accountability
Defining a differentiated strategy
You need a strategy to differentiate yourself in the marketplace. This strategy also needs to tie your long-term vision to your short-term execution. Here, you and your team will:
• Identify and describe your core customer
• Assess the market and decide on your key differentiators
• Create a plan to achieve differentiation and own your market
Executing with discipline and accountability
Nothing happens without disciplined execution. Here, you and your team will:
• Align around priorities
• Measure what matters
• Create a consistent planning and communication rhythm
Putting a process in place for continuous development and improvement
The process of creating breakthrough growth never ends. It’s a journey, not a destination. Here, you and your team will:
• Create both team and individual learning and growth plans
• Conduct a quarterly talent assessment to assess your A, B and C-players and calculate your Talent Density
• Coach your team, develop your team and make difficult decisions when necessary
