“I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam, and the side wall fell.
I asked the foreman: “Are these skilled–
And the men you’d hire if you had to build?”
He gave me a laugh and said: “No, indeed!
Just common labor is all I need.
I can wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken a year to do.”
And I thought to myself as I went my way,
Which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care
Measuring life by a rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well made Plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town
Content with the labor of tearing down?”
― Edgar A. Guest
Why do I need a coach?
To provide an external view of the realities of your business. Every great performer has a Leadership Team Coach NYC. Tiger Woods had Butch Harmon when he won 2 Amateur titles and his first 8 Majors. Bill Walton had John Wooden when the UCLA Bruins went 86-4. Bill Gates said “Everyone needs a coach” in his famous Ted Talk. If it’s your intention to be the best at what you do, then you need an outside perspective on what you’re doing, versus what you think you’re doing.
Too often, leadership teams are operating in the day-to-day of the service that they provide and don’t spend much time looking at the overall impact of their efforts. Priorities are lost and the work that is considered ‘important’ but not ‘urgent’ gets pushed out of the way to make room for the ‘urgent’. Unfortunately, a great deal of ‘urgent’ work isn’t actually ‘important’. It takes focused and purposeful effort to prevent these things from happening. If your leadership team is pulled away from their responsibilities in order to be a ‘firefighter’, that’s the sign of a broken system. The proper framework isn’t in place to prevent these problems from happening, nor are the protocols established for the few times that they do.
As a leadership team, it’s your duty to orient your company around a focused direction, and then advance along the path that will take you directly to where you’re going. A business Leadership Team Coach NYC guides the way. When you bring on a coach, they’ll provide you the framework from which to work and hold you accountable for executing on those actions.
What is a Pinnacle Business Guide?
Have you ever worked within, or tried to implement a business operating system? They are great! But, they are limited.
These business systems can be found in very popular books and have been implemented by thousands of leadership teams across the country. Inevitably, however, these teams find that the system is missing something for their specific business. A business operating system is a one-size-fits-all approach to a very complex problem. No two businesses are the same, so no one system will work for every business.
This is where a Leadership Team Coach NYC and a Pinnacle Business Guide is so useful. Pinnacle is a cooperative of business coaches around the country that are experts in solving business problems. Each business system is comprised of tools to solve different business problems. Pinnacle guides are experts in drawing the right tool, from the right system for solving your specific problem.
If you want to move beyond the E-Myth, the Traction library, Scaling Up, the Great Game of Business or the 4 Principles of Execution. If your business needs specific Strategy exercises, or needs to get a better handle on Cash Flow or direct Financial Reporting. Maybe your needs revolve around getting new business with Sales and Marketing. The Pinnacle Business Guide and our approach as your Leadership Team Coach NYC will be the right fit for you.
The problem is you have a problem, and a restrictive operating system may not have the tool to solve that problem. With the right tool, your leadership team can solve your business’s most important problems. It’s the role of a Pinnacle Business Guide to help you identify those priorities, and execute on the tried and true actions that have been time tested before you.
How can I make the most of my investment in a Leadership Team Coach NYC?
Commit to it like your life depends on it. Because it does.
As an entrepreneur, the success you have in your life is directly tied to the success of your business. However you define success for yourself. When you and your leadership team participate in the coaching sessions and workshops, you must be present and engaged. You are dedicating the very limited time that you have to a purposeful activity. You are bringing your team together to work on the most important parts of your business.
You should intend to work without distractions. If you are unable to be separated from the daily activities of your business for a day, then you have already identified a topic of concern and a problem to be solved as you begin your journey.
Being present and engaged is only the beginning. You must also be open to learning, open to discussion and open to disagreements. Our time together is the time to have hard conversations. Difficult dialogs move the company into directions that it never would have gone to before. It’s our intention to move your company to the greatest version of itself that it can be.
The coaching session is a time for decision making, but making a decision is only the beginning. Now it’s time to turn those decisions into actions – it’s time to execute. Your leadership team will be tasked with taking the necessary steps to move your company forward each day. This could mean running effective meetings, it could mean completing strategic projects, it could mean making sure you you have the right team members doing the right things, day in and day out.
The actions that your company needs to take will evolve over time. As your business changes, so too do your problems. You must commit to solving these problems in their order of priority so that your path to growth and to being a market leader will be as fast as your commitment to achieving your goals. It is our goal as your Leadership Team Coach NYC to hold you accountable to making decisions and implementing the path.
