Business is complex...

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's long-time partner, says, "Business is complex and anyone who says it's easy is stupid!"

You've learned this over many years.

Business is tough, no doubt about it. I liken it to a street fight you can't afford to lose. Your competitors are trying to knock you to the curb and take your customers.

The good news is that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. 

But you're a business leader who wants to win, to be the best, and you're open to learning from the best. You're frustrated by seemingly intractable obstacles and want highly qualified help in moving your organization forward.

Assess the strengths and weaknesses of your top executives

Why start here? Consider these benefits:

• maximize each person's leadership potential
• focus on their strengths
• boost interpersonal skills
• reduce or eliminate conflicts between people
• find the right fit - the right people in the right roles
• improve stress management 
• enhance performance under pressure
• get a solid roadmap for their leadership journey
• build stronger teams.

People don't know their own strengths. They're too close to them to see them clearly. 

They're unaware of where they're vulnerable to making costly performance mistakes, especially under pressure.

But now, you can utilize a world class strengths assessment instrument used by major corporations like IBM, Harley Davidson, Blue Cross/Blue Shield & Citibank;  the NFL; Major League Baseball; the NBA, and numerous special operations organizations like the Navy SEALs, the U.S Special Operations Aviation Regiment, the Canadian Special Forces, the CIA, and the FBI.

Testimonial #2:

I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts regarding Jim's coaching in which I've invested. 

Benefits that come to mind -

• First, was realizing how much I really did need coaching to take my company to the next level  
• Second, how much I really didn't know about my strengths and weaknesses
• Third, how I was hip-shooting instead of sharp shooting
• Fourth, Jim taught me how to effectively manage my managers
• Fifth, he showed me how to organize and run a highly productive meeting that solved business problems
• Sixth, Jim showed me how to get on the outside of my business and look in.

Jim, most impressive for me was your vast knowledge of business. There wasn't one

subject or topic that I asked about that you weren't well versed in.

The other benefit to me was, although we always started each call with a strategy and planned agenda, it was never a problem to go off the agenda based on an issue or concern that triggered another course of action.  

I always finished the sessions with a sense of accomplishment!

I also appreciated your direct, no bullshit approach to coaching.  There were a few times when we didn't see eye-to-eye and the session got a bit heated.  But, I realized that this challenge was a part of my growth as a leader and it made me aware of my vulnerabilities.  That was much appreciated.

In closing I will say that my work with you was enlightening, rewarding, and worth every penny.

Thanks again Jim!

These are my personal notes from a private presentation I attended. And, I've added four specific quick actions you can take to assess your personal situation.

Get a clear roadmap for your unique leadership journey. Every leader is different. There's no one right way to lead. But, there are pointers, markers, specific knowledge sets, and certain practices that can dramatically enhance your ability to maximize your distinctive leadership style.

Better yet, your employees are hungry for your leadership. They WANT you to lead them to a special destination. They want to be part of something bigger than themselves. They want to be part of a company that's on a mission.

You owe it to them and to yourself to become the best leader possible. 

Don't fail them!

Does coaching really work?

Coaching works! Not only do you see world-class professional athletes being coached, but also world-class business pros. It works for four reasons;

1. We all have BLIND SPOTS. A great coach is an expert at uncovering yours. Keep in mind that "the eye (and the 'I') cannot see itself."
2. We all need ACCOUNTABILITY. Coaches provide that and make sure you do what you say you'll do. They don't buy excuses.
3. We all need a SOUNDING BOARD. There's enormous value in hearing your own thoughts out loud. This is what the "coaching environment" provides you.
4. We all need GUIDANCE. Qualified coaches are experts at guiding and directing you through the obstacles and roadblocks to business growth, success, and achievement.
