Coaching

Today I had the opportunity to coach and develop a couple of my team members. There is really nothing better than to watch people develop and grow. Regardless of age or experience if people are willing to learn and adapt they will be successful.

Today I have a group that is mixed with some experience and some who have relatively no experience. The challenge is making sure the team members that have experience are able to utilize their skills when it comes to long term success of others. In the business world it is sometimes tough for people to realize that leadership is more about developing others rather than personal development.

When the development of others happens a leader begins to build a legacy. This legacy is what I call Residual Leadership. This is something that is taught and will carry throughout your career and through the careers of many others. Residual Leadership is like a family tree of sorts, who have you lead, who have they lead and who will they lead. Another words regardless of the role a leader is in today they are molding the future of the organization.
