A title says you are a manager, your people make you a Leader

1:1 meetings and reviews are considered to be the best way to help people be more effective and grow. Let’s take the time to prepare for them.

In these unique occasions, Bill Campbell (book “Trillion $ Coach”) addresses 4 main coaching areas.

1. Performance on job requirements

- Are sales figures progressing steadily to hit targets?

- Are far are you from agreed minimum product quality standards?

- What’s the plan to get back on track?

2. Relationship with peer groups

- how are you getting along with your teammates?

- And with other departments?

- How are you viewed at work?

Critical for integration and cohesiveness, even more than relationship with managers.

3. Management and leadership (only for Managers)

- Are you guiding and coaching your people?

- Are you weeding out the bad ones?

- Are you working hard at our hiring?

- Are you able to get your people to do heroic things?

4. Innovation (best practices) - Are you constantly moving ahead, thinking about how to continually get better?

- Are you constantly evaluating new technologies, new product, new practices?

- Do you measure yourself against the best in the industry world?

Innovation is where crazy people have stature. You need to work to kill your own products…before someone else does.
