Productivity is high;Stress anxiety is low;Morale is great;Customers are beating down your doors;Employee turnover is non existent (except when its your idea),
and;Profits are rolling in so fast the owners and bankers are all
asleep.Congratulations - and I'd really like to study your organization
to learn how you do it.In the real world, most organizations have concerns about at
least some of those things and often while training leadership
we find that a manager's inability to focus or concentrate is
simply because he's "too close to the forest to see the trees"."When you're up to your butt in alligators, it's difficult to
concentrate on draining the swamp." We call it the focus factor.Often the answer is a professional coach.As an outsider the coach can help managers focus on developing
the leadership skill required to produce results.I've seen a thousand definitions of leadership over the years
but none better than John C. Maxwell's. "Leadership is the
ability to get people to follow you - nothing more - nothing
less."Maxwell also said, "If you think your a leader and you have no
followers, you're not leading, you're just going for a walk."Typically the coach will work with the CEO and the Senior
Management Team helping them to develop and put into place the
skills required to make the management team better, more
focused, more functional leaders. Individually and collectively.Such leaders become initiators of change rather than victims of
it.They, in turn, coach and mentor their subordinates in the
development of the same leadership skill. "From the top floor to
the shop floor."In any organization you will see that people emulate their
superiors.If the CEO is a tyrant then tyranny is likely to be found
throughout the organization.If the CEO is a pushover you will find a lack of decisiveness
everywhere.Leadership skill consistently demonstrated at the top produces self
confidence, decisiveness and effectiveness as though by osmosis
everywhere you turn.The coach has the role of getting this process started and of
helping everyone to develop the skills to keep it growing.Like yeast, it will soon feed on itself.A few thousand dollars invested in coaching can return hundreds
of thousands to the bottom line, and do it in an improved, more
relaxed, less stressful atmosphere.Len McNallyLen McNally has been involved in people development, self help and coaching for many years. To learn more visit stress relief, stress ball and stress anxietytoday
