HELPING LEADERS CREATE TEAMS THAT GET RESULTS
Have you ever wondered why teams made up of smart and capable people struggle to meet project goals even though they have outstanding skills and extensive experience? Despite their best intentions the right decisions don't get made, deadlines are missed, communication deteriorates and the costs start to mount.
What if your teams could function cohesively, collaborating to set and achieve goals and deliver projects on-time and on-budget? What if your teams made better decisions more quickly? What would be possible if your teams communicated more effectively, eliminating frictions, misunderstanding and wasted effort? What if your teams worked from their strengths, capitalizing on their experience, natural creativity and resourcefulness?
I specialize in helping leaders create teams that leverage the strengths and competencies of individual team members to successfully complete projects. These teams plan and implement complex projects; problems are identified and resolved before they impact results; creative solutions are sought and executed collaboratively to ensure project success.
I do this through coaching, transforming good leaders into great leaders - leaders that inspire teams to achieve impossible goals. Teams led by skilled leaders are empowered, engaged and enthusiastic about their work, especially when it is challenging. They thrive on uncertainty, pressure and deadlines. Why? Because a great leader builds confidence in each person's skills and abilities, drawing on their strengths, even in the face of difficult situations. A great leader inspires each person to achieve beyond what individually they thought possible.
Coaching is more than a passing fad. The fact is it works because coaching is personal and holds individuals accountable within their own workplace. Personal accountability is a key reason coaching is so successful. The American Society for Training and Development has shown the impact of personal accountability on the likelihood of achieving a goal as:
- Hear an idea 10%
- Consciously decide to adopt an idea 25%
- Decide when you will do it 40%
- Plan how you will do it 50%
- Commit to someone else that you'll do it 65%
- Have a specific accountability appointment with the person to whom you committed 95%
I coach leaders who are tired of wondering why their teams struggle to meet project goals - despite the fact that everyone on the team is smart and capable; leaders who are looking for a better way to use their team's skills and experience. I do this by helping them learn to leverage their personal strengths and the expertise of the team to improve collaboration, decision making and communication.
