If you're company is stuck, it is likely that your leadership team is also stuck. In other words, the team is not developing and the growth of your company will always be preceded by your growth and development as an owner and the growth and development of your leadership team. So how do you know if your leaders are growing as a team? Over the years that I have coached leadership teams as pattern...

A great business must be full of trustworthy people. In fact, you can't have a great business without everyone being trustworthy. Of course, we hate to suggest that someone is not trustworthy because that feels like a direct, personal indictment of someone's character. However, there is a lot more than merely "good character" required for a person to be a trustworthy employee. Even is someone is g...

Long-term goals seem to be just that, long-term goals. But it is funny how we view time. Over ten years, you only have forty quarters. You better make the most of each one. ResultsOnPurpose, Leadership, Business Coaching

What does a conversation with my daughters about performance on the soccer field have to do with great business leadership? Well, it's about Mindset! Great business leaders have actually defined and documented how they want their teams to think and behave and they constantly talk about it, coach it, and recognize it in order to get world-class performance. #ResultsOnPurpose #BusinessCoaching #Lead...

With my first business, I was asked by my coach nearly 20 years ago to answer the question, “How are we unique from our competitors?” And when I first started business coaching and sales coaching over a decade ago, I would ask leaders to come up with the answer to this question as well. But, after enough experience, I started to wonder if the answer mattered or if this was even the right question....

If a prospect were to ask one of your employees what the mission of the company is, would they know? What if a prospective employee asked what the goals are, could everyone on your team answer?

There are a lot of really great milestones that leadership teams reach in the Results On Purpose Business Coaching program. They are the epiphanies and growth moments that happen with every owner and team. However, I do have a favorite milestone as a coach. #ResultsOnPurpose #Leadership #BusinessCoaching

This is an excellent story of a business owner using his "entrepreneurial superpowers" to help source medical masks for the healthcare community as our first responders, doctors, and nurses risk their own lives to treat coronavirus patients. #Leadership #Entrepreneur #ResultsOnPurpose

One Peter Drucker proverb is that the spirit of the organization is created at the top.  In other words, the character of the business, the Mindset, or the culture is created by the leaders' behavior.  Allowing poor character is something that over time becomes unforgivable for those team members who care about such things (which is who you want). #ResultsOnPurpose #BusinessCoaching #Lea...

It is just going to happen that sometime, someone in your company is going to mistreat a peer, direct report, or even a customer. Because it does not happen often, leaders are often unprepared to deal with it. Especially if it is a peer or a strong performer who behaves badly, it is very easy to ignore what just happened. Don't do this. Issues will fester and grow. It may take some time, but it is...

The level of an entrepreneur's passion is a leading indicator of success, but is that true when we are talking about leadership teams? Not necessarily. It is common that leaders will have their unique passions seemingly helpful to the business, but that does not mean they have a passion for the business. In other words, leaders who are smart, experienced, and even "passionate," can not all be on t...

Intentionally or not, there are times when you run across a person that you think would be a great salesperson for your company.  So how do you start the conversation around whether or not they would be interested in making a change without making it all about more money?  Watch to find out. #ResultsOnPurpose #Leadership #Sales #Recruiting

When business owners are hiring their first salesperson or trying to build a whole team, they often hire to quickly and then keep poor salespeople longer than they should.  There are many reasons for this, but one is that they treat hiring like an event rather than an ongoing process. They should always be recruiting.  #resultsonpurpose #bizcoaching #salesleadership
