Many of our readers would question why an article such as this on a coaching website? Well let's put this in context: More and more coaches at the University and College levels have to deal with these types of parent in their coaching, and if it's not shut down quickly when they arrive, it can be 2 -5 years of "hell" especially...

    Letting someone go is one of the most challenging actions for any leader. Outside of an egregious reason that requires an immediate dismissal, letting someone go is often a defining moment of failure. Rarely do people fail alone. It's often a combination of a lack of skill, passion, work ethic, leadership, and coaching. While exceptions exist to every rule, involuntary turnover is a judgment of a team member's performance and a manager's leadership.   Involuntary turnover is a judgment of a...

    Courtesy of John Eades, Building The Best: The following post from John Eades on October 13, 2023 in his "Building The Best" weekly post from LearnLoft and he addresses the importance of measurement of performance. Most performance reviews are a gigantic waste of time and effort. Managers don't like them, team members despise them, and HR doesn't know what to think. However, before you start to believe this is a bashing session around performance reviews, think again.   Measuring performance...

    The following is from John Eades and the "Building The Best" weekly series from September 26, 2023. Making excuses is commonplace for many professionals. Who could blame them? Making an excuse is easier than taking responsibility. If that wasn't enough, it simply feels better to blame someone or something else for a mistake or a lackluster outcome.   However, just because something feels good doesn't mean it helps you. Take Shawn, a first-time manager, as an example. An HR executive...

It's often called "soft" or "moderately important." In reality, culture is anything but these things. In Building the Best, I defined culture as "The shared values and beliefs that guide thinking and...

    The following article is from Steve Wood Operations Director at Creative Foods, UK May 23, 2023. Courtesy of Steve Wood: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-wood-1a60a15b/ A #growthmindset is perhaps the thing above all others we look for in those who have the potential and ability to #lead. There are many other facets of character and behaviours that are required, yet without the spirit and appetite for improvement and leaning both individually and collectively very little can be achieved of substance and longevity. It is therefore, very important that...

    Courtesy of Building the Best The following article is courtesy of John Eades in "Building the Best" on may 23, 2023. The truth can set you free and create a brighter future than exists today. However, leaders often avoid the truth for fear of what might happen because of it. So they surround themselves with "yes" people who will shelter the truth and tell them what they want to hear. While it might seem like a good idea, a...

While not everyone is a sports fan, sports undeniably can offer us valuable lessons for life and leadership. A prime example occurred last week during the NBA basketball playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks, who had the best record in the league, suffered a shocking and resounding defeat in the first round of the postseason. Perhaps the most resonant moment of the series came after...
